I have duly received your Grace's despatch of the 14th
July last No 35 pointing out to me that, as doubts might be
entertained as to the binding authority of any Proclamation
issued by me subsequently tothe
the Order in Council constituting
a Legislative Council, my first step should be, on convening
such Council, to re-enact in the form of an Ordinance any
Proclamation or Proclamations issued after the above date,
and I have to convey my thanks to Your Grace for furnishing
me with your views in this matter which shall be carefullyattended
attended to.
