I should not be inclined to suppose that any fresh sanction is
necessary. In No 43 of 8 Octr the Governor announced that he would

only the execution of the intention previously announced.

transmitting &c, send him a copy of the present despatch, reporting
that the Governor has accordingly authorized the Treasurer to draw
Bills for £1000 on the Paymaster General.
