"31 July, 1922" at head of caption title. At head of title on page 9 verso: 3 Geo. IV. Sess. 1822. Scarce document. A very early Bill stating that “a joint Legislature for both Provinces would be more likely to promote their general security and prosperity than a separate Legislature for each of the said Provinces, as at the present by law established”. It is then proposed that that act be repealed by the present Act for the purpose of the joint Legislatures.
