 Seymour, Frederick Cardwell, Edward Added abstract. Inserted revisionDesc.
No. 52 10951, CO 60/19, p. 283; received 21 November 26 September 1864 Sir,

I have the honor to transmit copy of an Account in connection with advances made to the late Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works during the year 1863. It exhibits a balance against that Officer at the close of the year of forty four pounds four shillings and ten pence (£44.4.10).

2. Upon enquiry into this matter I am informed thatColonel Colonel Moody declined to repay this sum, claiming as a set off against it, a like amount, in two sums, which had been disallowed in Military Requisitions by my Predecessor in 1858 and 1860. The first, three pounds seventeen shillings (£3.17.0) for Captain Grant's R.E. Mess expenses on board ship from Southampton to Colon in 1858, the other, forty pounds seven shillings and ten pence (£40.7.10), claimed, as Colonial pay, by Captain Lempriere R.E. from 19th of April to 31st of May 1860. As these are military disallowances and have no bearing or claim on Civil Advances I would beg to suggestthat that Colonel Moody be called upon to pay the balance named into the hands of the Crown Agents on account of this Colony.

I have the honor to be Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant Frederick Seymour
Mr Elliot I presume that before calling upon Colonel Moody to repay this amount, as suggested by the Governor, he should be furnished with a copy of this Desp. and asked for any observations or explanations which he may have to make? VJ 29 Nov
