At the request of
M Samuel Harris a resident at
Cowichan in
this Colony I forward for Your Lordship's information the
annexed Papers relative to a claim which was preferred against
and has been paid by the Government
of of Colombia, and in which he
is interested. He asks that application may be made at the
Foreign Office that the sum in the hands of that Department at
his credit may be placed to the account of
British Columbia with
the
Crown Agents and that authority may be issued to me to pay
the same through
the Treasury here, to him.
