I have the honor to forward an authenticated and two plain copies of an Ordinance of the recent Session of the Legislature of this Colonyentitled entitled; No. 22. An Ordinance to facilitate the working of the Mineral Lands. Your Lordship will observe that it contains a suspending clause.

2. The report of the Attorney General is sufficiently full on the subject.

3. As the main principles of the measure were introduced by myself,I I need hardly say that I take a favorable view of the Ordinance.

4. Should Your Lordship approve of the measure, perhaps you would be good enough to telegraph to me, Her Majesty's allowance of the Ordinance. It is one of great importance to the Colony.

I have the honor to be My Lord,Your Your Lordship's most obedient humble Servant, Frederick Seymour
