I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No.
25 of the 15th of March enclosing a copy of the Standing Orders of the
Legislative Council of British Columbia.
These Rules appear to have been devised with pains, and do credit
to the considerationwhich which recent have been bestowed on the subject, and

Sir,
Your most obedient
humble servant Edward Cardwell
