Romaine to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary) 2513, CO 60/12, p. 10; received 20 March 18 March 1861

The expenses specified on the other side hereof * having been incurred by the Naval Department on account of the Colonial Office for the services stated, I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, to request that you will move His Grace the Duke of Newcastle to cause repayment of the sum in question to be made to the credit of Naval Services, through Her Majesty's Paymaster-General, who has been authorized to receive the same.

I am etc. W.G. Romaine
Mr Elliot This payment will have to be made out of the Vote taken for defraying the expences in freighting, the stores for B. Columbia. I shdshould not imagine that the amount of the Vote has been absorbed. ABd 21/3
Find out from Mr Buckland himself before we write. TFE 22/3
Mr Elliot I find from Mr Buckland that there are no funds in the hands of the Paymaster belonging to British Columbia. The Treasury are about to recover a sum of £4000 from the War Office on account of the Regimental pay of the Engineers, and it may perhaps be as well therefore to keep this claim back for a week or two to give them time to do this. I annex a memo which, I believe shews the present position of the accounts between the Colony & the Treasury. HT Irving 26 March
Mr Fortescue I am afraid that we must forward the claim to the Ty and request payment. TFE 26 March CF 27 N 30
March 1861 B. Columbia Account Total amount paid by the Treasury to 31 March 1860 £69.664.10.4 to 31 March 1861 (estimated) 35.474 £105.138 Deduct Parly Votes to 31 Mch 1860 £42.998 " 31 " 1861 30.000 72.998 Balance due to the Treasury Chest £32,140

Of this £18.718, about £6000 are due by the War Department on account of San Juan and there are also 2 1/2 years Regt Pay of the R. Engineers recoverable from that Department—amounting probably to £12000 or £13,000.

Our Item of £2000, beyond the sum required for the current services of the year, has been inserted in the Estimate for 1861-62.
