No. 149

I have laid before the Queen "the British Columbia Loan Act, 1862,"
which was transmitted to me with your despatch No. 43 of the 3rd of
September last.

I am commanded to acquaint you that Her Majesty has been pleased to
confirm and allow this act.

You will communicate Her Majesty's decision to the Inhabitants of
the Colony by a Proclamation to be published in the most authentic
manner.
