With reference to your Despatch No. 7 of the 2nd of February
enclosing an Ordinance (No. 18) granting a Supplemental Supply of
£60,076.8.8 for the Service of the Year 1864, I have the honor to
transmit to you a copy of a letter from the Board of Treasury requiring
further information on the subject.
I have therefore to request that you will furnish me with a full
Statement of the Revenue of 1864, accompanied by such explanations as
will show distinctly the sources from which the Legislative Council
proposed that this Supplemental Expenditure should be met.
I have the honor to be
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble servant Edward Cardwell
