General,

was introduced by the Governor on February 8th 1882, without any reference whatever to me.

Upon the draft Ordinance

in the Office of the Clerk of Councils there is a note signed by M Phillipps stating that the proposed Ordinance adapted from the English Act of 39 and 40 Victoria. Probably at the time when he prepared it the Aet 42 and 43 Victoria Cap: // had not been passed

This latter act would seem to be the proper

one to adopt here, and not the repealed Act.

(signed) E.LO Malley,

Attorney General.
