No. 40

Sir,
With reference to your despatch No. 21 of the 21st of April last I
have the honor to transmit to you a copy of a further letter from Mr.
Charles Walkem relative to the admission of his son to the Bar of
British Columbia I had every reason to
expect from the terms of your
despatchthat
that Mr Justice Begbie would have paid prompt attention to the
opinion you expressed on the propriety of making such amendments in the
Rules of his Court as may render Canadian Barristers eligible for
admission to practice, and I have to request that you will report to
me what steps, if any,the
the Judge has taken for effecting this object.
