I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
to acquaint you that they have directed the withdrawal of a
claim on the Colonial Department amounting to £3643.2.8.
for the Conveyance of a party of Engineers and others to
British Columbia in 1858, excepting, however, the Cost of the
passages of the persons named on the other side,
which will,
therefore
therefore be included in the next quarterly Claim for
Passages provided by the Naval Department for the Colonial Department.
