These valuable changes, attentively considered, and adopted advantageously at home, appeared to me equally applicable and needful for the removal of evils existing in this Colony, where the expenses, the uncertainties, and the delays of Law have been long an intolerable grievance.
I hope therefore Her Majesty will be graciously pleased to confirm the Ordinance by which the benefits of Law reform are extended to this remote colony, in the adoption of three portions of Imperial Legislation to which the Schedule refers.
I have the honor to be,
with the highest respect,
Your Most Obedient, Humble Servant,
John Bowring
