Abstract
Public Offices document.
Minutes (2), Other documents (2).
Sargent writes to Elliot on the subject of Cary's “arrears of assessed Taxes,” which Sargent lists, and then notes that the two notification letters sent to Cary from “Inland Revenue” have received no reply.
The first of the two documents included in the file is a draft letter from Newcastle to Douglas, which forwards a copy of the Board of Inland Revenue's letter to Cary; the second is a draft letter from Elliot to Sargent, which advises that Douglas has been asked to instruct Cary to settle the outstanding tax claim.

The Board have addressed two letters to Mr Cary
for payment of the arrears in question, to which no reply
has been received.
As the outstanding of these arrears occassions much
inconvenience to this office by keeping open the accounts of
the District in which they are due, the Board have directed
me to bring the circumstance under the notice of the Secretary
of State for the Colonies, with a view to such steps being
taken as may be thought most desirableto
to obtain a settlement
of the Crown's claim.
