The Smithe ministry was the combined Cabinet that governed British Columbia from January 29, 1883, to March 28, 1887. It was led by William Smithe, the seventh premier of British Columbia. The ministry was formed in the aftermath of the 1882 election, in which Smithe and his supporters won a comfortable majority.[1] Smithe died in 1887 and was succeeded as premier by Attorney General Alexander Edmund Batson Davie, who formed the A. E. B. Davie ministry.[2]
