Despatch from London.

Buckingham confirms that Seymour’s and British Columbia’s attorney general’s opinions regarding the effect of the Act of Union upon the Legislative Constitution of the Colony are correct and that the Act of Union does not invalidate the Acts of the Council. Buckingham states that the law officers do not need to be consulted concerning the Act of Union’s effect on the legislative constitution of British Columbia.

No. 13 NAC, RG7, G8C/15, p. 57 (CO 398/5, p. 113) 15 February 1868 Sir,

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch Separate of the 28th November enclosing a letter from the Attorney General of British Columbia requesting that the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown may be obtained as to the effect of theAct Act of Union upon the Legislative Constitution of the Colony.

Your own views upon the subject and those of the Attorney are so clearly right, and it is so impossible that the supposed construction should be so set up as to invalidate the Acts of the Council that it is neither necessary nor advisable to take the Law Officers' opinion upon the point raised in the letter of the Attorney General.

I have the honor to be Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant Buckingham & Chandos
