While the Ministry of Finances has no
thing to remark upon amendments being
made to the Ordinance of 1875 which the
Colonial Council has adopted, the Ministry
has not considered itself capable of sub
uniting the adopted Ordinance in it's pres

ton, as it in it's drawing up has the formal
defects, that the Ordinance Of 10 MAY 1876
to which the amendments are linked, is
