Sir,
I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's
Treasury to acquaint you that a Bill has been presented at the
Office of the Paymaster General, for the sum of £250, drawn
by Mr W.A.G. Young, for the Governor of British Columbia;
and I am to request that you will move the Duke of Newcastle to
inform Their Lordships whether Mr Young has
been
been authorized
to draw Bills for the Governor of the afore-mentioned Colony,
and whether His Grace would recommend that this Bill should
be accepted.
been authorized
to draw Bills for the Governor of the afore-mentioned Colony,
and whether His Grace would recommend that this Bill should
be accepted.

This Officer receives £500 a year from the Grant for
B. Columbia but he has had no authority for drawing this Bill.
Perhaps the proper ansr to this Letter will be to
inform the T-y that we conclude that Mr Young has
drawn this
Bill for his half year's Salary—though he has had no permission
to do so—that the Bill had better be paid on account, and
that an explanation shall be called for through the Governor?
