With reference to Your Lordship's
Despatch No. 247 of the 20th. of last October, I have the
honour to inform Your Lordship that a Bill entitled an
Ordinance to amend the Code of Civil Procedure was introduc-
-ed into Legislative Council and read a first time on the
2nd. of last December. The bill was brought up for a
second reading on the 9th. idem, and I enclose the Hansard
report of the debate, which then ensued, and which led Sir
F. Lugard to decide not to carry the bill further on that
day.

Conclosures.
In the meantime Sir 7. Lugard
received from Mr. M. W. Slade, K.C., letters dated the 8th.
and 15th. December, of which I enclose copies, urging that
it would be most undesirable to pass the Bill: and Sir F.
Lugard therefore let the matter rest in order that the
Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council might have
RIGHT HONOURABLE
&c. ..
