I have to acquaint you, for the information of
M
Secretary Cardwell, that, pursuant to the directions conveyed
in your letter of the
31 ultimo, the
Crown Agents paid
to the credit of Naval Funds on the
7 instant the
sums of £3.9.8, £1.11.3 and £69.18.2 on account of the
Government of
British Columbia.
The latter mentioned sum would have been paid on an
earlier date, but the
Crown Agents had a difficulty in
obtaining
the the necessary Receivable Order from the Paymaster
General's Department.
