I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for
Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
6 instant
transmitting by desire of the
Duke of Newcastle copies of two Acts of
the Legislature of
Vancouver Island entitled respectively:
"The Harbour Regulation Act
1863" and the "Ports of Entry Act
1863"
and in reply I am to request that you will state to His Grace that
My
Lords Lords see no reason why these Acts should not be left to their
operation.
