Sir,
Being desirous of obtaining a copy of the existing regulations
for the disposal of Crown land in the colony of British Columbia,
and being only able to obtain those enacted by Proclamations dated
January 1860, and January 1861, some of which I am reliably
informed have been repealed and reenacted, with alterations, I
take the liberty of stating that I should feel obliged if you
would favour me
with a copy, or abstract, of the regulations at
present in force, or if you would inform me where I can obtain the
same.
