No. 35, Legislative 7708, CO 305/19, p. 208; received 4 August 10 June 1862

With reference to my Despatch No 22 of the 24th April last, announcing the opening of the third Session of the Second Parliament of Vancouver Island, I have now to communicatethat that shortly after its first meeting the House of Assembly Entered upon the consideration of the annual Estimates as submitted by my authority, and voted the moneys, as per the accompanying Schedules [marginal note: Nos 1, 2, 3 & 4], amounting altogether to the Sum of Twenty five thousand four hundred and fifty one Pounds (£25,451), for the service of the Year 1862—being Two Hundred and Sixty five pounds (£265) short of the proposed Expenditure for that period; and theHouse House is, I have no doubt, prepared to grant any further Sums that the public exigencies may demand.

2. The Legislature has, since the commencement of the Session, been also engaged with matters of Great local interest, which I will bring before Her Majesty's Government—should it appear necessary—at the close of the Session—and have moreover passed an Act to authorize the Governor to borrow money for temporary purposes,to to which I have given my assent.

There is nothing else of much importance connected with the proceedings of the Legislature to communicate.

I have the honor to be My Lord Duke, Your Grace's most obedient and humble Servant James Douglas
