The De Cosmos ministry was the combined Cabinet that governed British Columbia from December 23, 1872, to February 9, 1874. It was led by Amor De Cosmos, the second premier of British Columbia. The ministry was established after the McCreight ministry lost a motion of no-confidence on December 19, 1872, regarding poor administration of public affairs.[1] De Cosmos's government was dissolved following his resignation, in order for him pursue a career in federal politics.
