transmitted in your letter of 10th inst, I am directed by the
Lords Commissoners of Her Majesty's Treasury to state, for the
information of Earl Granville, that the desire of the Admiralty
is that the present arrangement, by which the Account of
Expenditure in connection withthe
the Detachment of Royal Marines
at San Juan Island is made up for the year from 1st January to
31st December, should be changed, and that for the future the
Account should be made up from the 31st March in one year to
the same date in the next.
