I have the honor to acquaint you, in answer to your Despatch of the
21st November last, that the
Lords Commissoners of the Treasury have
given directions to the Paymaster General to pay to the Account of the
Crown Agents for the Colonies the sum of
two two thousand nine hundred and thirty seven pounds ten shillings and sixpence, being
the excess
of advances made by the colonial Government of
British Columbia in
respect of the Regimental Pay of the Royal Engineers serving in that
Colony over and above the Bills drawn upon England.
