Le Marchant, D. to [Recipient not known.] 25 June 1857, CO 305:8, no. 5808, 356.

Abstract
Public Offices document. Minutes (2).
Le Marchant issued this Resolution of the House of Commons that any despatches to the Colonial Office regarding the establishment of a Representative Assembly at Vancouver Island should be presented to Her Majesty by such Members of this House as are of Her Majesty’s Most Honourable Privy Council.
The minutes advise that Labouchere’s despatches should also be given as the correspondence will be hardly intelligible without them.

Mr Labouchere's despatches should be also given. At least such I believe to have been the intention.

The correspondence will be hardly intelligible without them.
