I have marked the passage in the Order in Council laying down the rules for the admission
of Attornies & Barristers to practice in the
Supreme Court of
VanCouver Island. It appears from his Petition that
M Copland was only a clerk to a Writer to the Signet &
not a Writer

x as required by the Order, and that
this fact was duly set forth in the Certificate he presented to the Chief Justice.
The Petition ought I presume be referred to the
Gov for
report &
M Duncan
informed?
