I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for
Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
6th 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.
