Sir
The claim for the freight of the various Colonial Office
Stores which were conveyed to British Columbia in the "Thames City" having been received and examined in this Department,
I beg to acquaint you, by the direction of their Lordships
that, owing to the apparently very irregular manner in which
the Shipment and delivery of these Stores were arranged by
Colonel Moody, considerable difficulty has been experienced in
the investigation of the claim.
