I do not myself see much objection to this Ordinance, but looking to the opposition that has been offered to it, I should not be disposed to sanction it.
I wd write to the Govr requesting for fuller information as to the ground upon which the opposition was based, & suggesting a doubt whether the Ordinance should not be confined to teachers of Surgery & Anatomy.

I am inclined to agree with the Governor & Attorney General. If the Govt Members of Council opposed it, I presume it was carried by the non officials, which would look as if there was no public feeling against it.
