rules for the administration of justice by Courts-martial,

been afforded to her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects

" Several other acts have been passed for Legal Reform,
which must load to the more satisfactory administration of
justice.
" Her Majesty has observed, with deep satisfaction, the
spirit of loyalty, of order, and of obedienc e to the law, which
prevails among her subjects, both in the United Kingdom
and in her dominions beyond sea ; and her Majesty has

reception given to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
by her North American subjects.

ment of the objects of her constant solicitude—the welfare
and the happiness of her people."
