The Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury have
had before them your letter of 25th September last,
enclosing Financial Returns of the Government of British
Columbia for the Quarter to 31st March 1865.

state to Mr Secretary Cardwell that They observe that,
in the General Abstract of transactions at the Treasury, the
amount stated as received under the head of "Revenue from
Collectors" is £958.11.4, whereas it would appear from
previous Returns, that the sums received underthis
this head
were as follows—vizt
Quarter to 30th June 1864 £16781.
" " 30th September " 13564.
" " 31st December " 16421.

falling off of the Revenue under this head for the Quarter to
31st March last.
