My Lord,
I have the honor to forward an Authenticated and two plain
Copies of an Ordinance of the present Session of the
Legislature, entitled;No. 4.
No. 4. An Ordinance to enable "The Queen Charlotte Coal Mining
Company, Limited," to change their Registered Office from the
City of New Westminster to the City of Victoria.
Queen Charlotte's Island was a Dependency of the Mainland,
previous to the Union of the Colonies. Hence it was requisite
that the Head office of anyCompany
Company formed to develope the
resources of the island should have its Head Quarters in New
Westminster. Union and the removal of the Seat of Government
has changed all that. I see no objection to the Ordinance.
