I have received and have had under my consideration the Act passed
by the Legislature of
British Columbia entitled No. 126 of
1871 "An Act
to provide for a permanent Civil List" which was transmitted to me in
your Despatch No. 39 of the
31st of March last.
I have reported to Her Majesty in Council my opinion that the said
Act should be specially confirmed; and I have the honor to transmit to
you herewith an order of Her Majesty in Council, dated the 16th of May
approving that Report.
