letter from Mr Ker the Auditor General, in which he submits an
application for some remuneration for the services rendered in
auditing the Accounts of the Crown Funds.

2. In addition to the services to which he refers, Mr Ker has
also without remuneration discharged the duty of auditing the
Accounts of Military Expenditure in respect of the Detachment of
Royal Marines occupying the Island of San Juan, which may be

Crown Fund, as remuneration for his services. The Crown Fund
will probably soon form part of the General Revenue of the
Colony.
