Despatch from London
Lytton, Edward George Earle Bulwer to Douglas, James 15 March 1859, LAC RG7:G8C/7, 157.
No. 32
Downing Street,
15 March 1859
Sir,
I have received your despatch of the 6th January, No 65,
forwarding, with copies of two letters from Judge Begbie, the copy of an
Order of Court regulating the admission of Barristers and Attorniesto
to
the Court of British Columbia.
to
the Court of British Columbia.
I regret that there should be no duly qualified English Lawyers to
practice in the Court, and that it has been, therefore, necessary to
admit foreign Counsel. But as the arrangement which you report is
plainly unavoidable and only temporary I offer no objection to it.
