Sir,
I have received and laid before The Queen the three Ordinances
named in the margin,
passed by the Legislature of British Columbia in the month of March
last, and I am Commanded to inform you that Her Majestyhas
has been
graciously pleased to sanction and confirm them.

Licenses."

No. 8 "An Ordinance authorizing the sale of the Real Estate of Intestates."
Enclosed in Despatch No. 27 of 7th April.

You will cause Her Majesty's decision with respect to these
Ordinances to be proclaimed to the inhabitants of British Columbia in
the usual and most authentic manner.
I understand that under the first Clause of No. 8 "authorizing the
sale of the Real Estate of Intestates," the Supreme Court might
authorize the personal representative of a deceased person to sell real
property not belonging to that personal representative himself but to
the Heirs. It appears to me thatspecial
special regulations will be necessary
(and no doubt will be provided by the Court) to secure that the money so
received finds its way to the rightful owner. It appears to me that it
might be advisable to provide that the conveyance should not be complete
without a Certificate that the Accountant General had received the
purchase money.
