I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of Her
Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you, for the information of
Sir E.B. Lytton, that My Lords will not object to the issue,
quarterly, of Colonel Moody's Civil and Military pay, as
Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works in British Columbia, to
his Agents Messrs Cox and Co, but They consider that
that Officer should transmit periodically to the Secretary of
State the usual Certificate of his Existence, required in similar cases.
An advance of 120 days pay has already beenmade
made to
Colonel Moody and other officers of this Expedition, which
pay Their Lordships presume will commence from the date
when They ceased to receive pay from the War Department,
as sanctioned by the letter of this Board of the 7th
Ultimo.
