With reference to
Governor Kennedy's despatch No. 68 of the
3 September, stating that the Legislative Assembly of
Vancouver Island had refused to pass any Law for the admission of Indian
Evidence![Manuscript image Manuscript image](https://hcmc.uvic.ca/~coldesp/jpg_scans/jpg_thumbnail/co_60_27/co_60_27_00174v.jpg)
Evidence and to Your Lordship's reply expressing a hope that
questions of this nature will be dealt with more effectually after
the Union of the two Colonies, I beg to state that I propose to
make the extension of the
British Columbia Indian Evidence Act
over the whole Colony one of the Government Measures of the
approaching Session.
2. I have every expectation that the Matter will now be
satisfactorily settled.
