by the Legislature of British Columbia entitled No. 3 of 1871 "An Act to
amend and Alter the Constitution of this Colony" which was transmitted

I have reported to Her Majesty in Council my opinion that the said
Act should be specially confirmed, and I have the honor to transmit to
you herewith an Order of Her Majesty in Council dated the 16th May
approving that Report.
