I have the honor to forward an authenticated and two
plain copies of an Ordinance of the recent Session of the
Legislative Council of this Colony, entitled:
An Ordinance relating to Patents.
I add the Report of the Attorney General. He has furnished the
best excuse which can be offered for this imperfect measure
when
he he states that it has been passed to meet an immediate
emergency, in anticipation of more extended Legislation on the
subject. I may mention that the amount of fees has not yet been
settled by the Governor in Council.
