Sir,
With reference to Mr Elliot's letter of the 28th
ultimo, in which it is stated that the claims on the Crown
Agents in respect of British Columbia, which fall due on or
before the 16th instant, amount to,
£ 6,250, Interest and Sinking Fund on Loan
10,000, the amount of two bills which mature at the latter date
£16,250 I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury to acquaint youfor
for the information of Mr Secretary
Cardwell, that in order to enable the Crown Agents to meet
these claims, My Lords have directed the payment to them of
the sum of £4664.14s.11d, the balance of the Vote for British Columbia for the year 1863/4, and have also desired an
advance to be made to the Agents of £2050 from Civil
Contingencies, which with the balance on the Vote and the
cash in the Agents' hands will be sufficient to meet the
payments referred to. The remainder of the claim of £9051
will be paid to the Agents, when the Supplementary Vote, whichMy
My Lords propose to submit to Parliament, has been taken.
