These Estimates were required by the Treasury to enable them to consider the Appropriation Ordinance N. 3 of 64. The Returns shew an estimated Revenue of £126,000, & an Expenditure of £146,303. The latter includes the Sum of £10704 under the head of "Home Govt Amount" being the cost of the Barracks, while the estimated Revenue is exclusive of the proceeds of the loan of £100,000, not yet raised.
