The Council met today by special summons.
The Minutes of the last Council were read and approved.
It appearing that the third Section of the Consular Ordinance No. 1 of 1855 had been introduced through a clerical error, and its purport being inapplicable to the objects of the Ordinance, it was unanimously agreed that, as the Ordinance had not yet been promulgated, this section should be struck out, which was accordingly done.
Read second time and passed the Ordinance, entitled "An Ordinance to provide for and regulate Process in actions at Law against Persons absent from the Colony," being No. 2 of 1855, which was ordered to be printed and published in the Government Gazette.
(Signed) John Bowring,
Governor.
Read and approved this 19th day of February, 1855.
(Signed) L. d'Almada e Castro,
Clerk of Councils.
