Treasury Chambers
2nd July 1868 Sir,

The Lords Commissoners of Her Majesty's Treasury have had before them your letter of 16th ulto enclosing copy of a letter from the Admiralty with one from the Naval Commander in Chief on the Pacific Station asking for instructions as to the payment of arrears of Colonial Pay to the Detachment of Royal Marines at San Juan from April 1st to Decr 31st 1867.

I am to state for the information of the Secretary of State, that as it would appear to My Lords clear fromthe the correspondence which took place in 1860 that the detachment which was stationed at St Juan was to be granted extra pay equal to the regular pay of the Force, My Lords are of the opinion that the men who are serving at that station are entitled to receive additional pay granted by the Order in Council of August 1867, from the date at which such additional pay was granted under the provisions of the Order in Council.

I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant Geo. A. Hamilton
Sir F. Rogers Copy to Admiralty with reference to their letter 6405. If any instructions to the GovrGovernor were needed the Admiralty will of course tell us so. CC 3 July
At once. (This seems rather circumlocutory. I do not understand why the correspe goes thro' us.) FR 3/7
Rogers to Secretary of the Admiralty, 7 July 1868, advising that the detachment stationed on San Juan were entitled to the additional pay granted by the Order in Council of 1867.
