Despatch from the Right Hon. the Earl of Kimberley to Governor Sir G. P. Bowen, G.C.M.G. (No. 45.)

I have to acknowledge your Despatch No. 35, of 30th March, enclosing a case prepared by the Managers of the two Houses of the Legislature of New Zealand on the subject of a difference which had arisen between them on certain points of law and privilege.

According to the request of your Responsible Advisers, I referred the case to the Law Officers of the Crown, and I transmit to you a copy of their opinion.
