With reference to your letter of
12th inst. I am directed by
the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury to acquaint
you, for the information of
Earl Granville, that My Lords agree
with his Lordship that, before expressing any opinion on the
question whether the amount irregularly drawn by
Mr
Seymour late Governor of
British Columbia from the Crown Fund
ought to be claimed against his Estate,
they they should await the
report of the particulars of the sums which he drew from this Fund.
