I have the honor to transmit a Bill on the Bank of British North
America,
London, for Three Thousand Pounds (£3000) at sixty days
sight in favour of the
Crown Agents for the Colonies to meet the
overdraft referred to in your Despatch N 8 dated
23 February
1865, and the half yearly payment of Two Thousand
Pounds Pounds for interest
and sinking fund on account of the
Vancouver Island Road and Harbour
Loan, which will fall due on the
15 July 1865.
In reference to the latter portion of your Despatch above quoted I
beg to state that no further Bills have been drawn upon the Crown
Agents.
