No. 62 12129, CO 60/25, p. 118; received 22 December 6th October 1866 My Lord,

In obedience to the instructions contained in Mr Secretary Cardwell's despatch No. 8 of the 20th February, I have the honor to transmit a complete List of Imperial Military Stores in the possession of theColonial Colonial Government.

2. All the accoutrements left by Colonel Moody were much worn, the larger portion having belonged to the Royal Engineers employed under Colonel Hawkins on the Boundary Commission.

3. On the first formation of a Volunteer Corps it was found difficult to fit out sixty men from these accountrements, I do not therefore consider it would be fair to call uponthe the Colony to defray half their original value as proposed by the War Department, especially as it is the intention of the several Volunteer Corps to purchase new accoutrements when the funds of the Corps will justify the outlay.

4. The original Cost of the ammunition was I presume included in the Military Accounts between the Imperial and Colonial Governments and has been already partly paid for by the Colony.

I have the honor to be, My My Lord, Your most obedient humble Servant Arthur N. Birch
