With reference to my Despatch No. 47 of the 17 inst. confirming
certain Acts passed by the Legislative Council of B.C. I have to request
you to inform Chief Justice Begbie and Mr. Justice Crease that their
objections to the Act No. 23 of 1871, "Thetrial trial of controverted
Elections Act" have received the careful consideration they deserve but
that I have not thought it my duty to recommend Her Majesty to disallow
this enactment.
I have the honor to be
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble servant Kimberley
