In reply to your letter of the
12th Inst. I am commanded
by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you
that the Paymaster General has been authorized to pay the Bill drawn
by the Treasurer of
British Columbia for the sum of £1,500, in
repayment of an overissue by that Government on account of the Royal
Marines at
St. Juan (£206.11.7) and to meet future charges on their
account.
