No. 35 10019, CO 305/20, p. 323; received 16 October 27 August 1863 My Lord Duke,

I have the honor to forward herewith for your Grace's information the Returns noted on the other side hereof * as required by the Book of Colonial Regulations, for the Quarter ending 30th June 1863.

I have the honor to be My Lord Duke, Your Grace's most obedient humble Servant James Douglas
Put by for reference.

This quarters account is not quite so pleasant as the last—especially in the item of Crown Rents.

ABd 17 Octr
March June Gross Reve 17,888 27,713 Crown (including casual) Say 5,111 1,485

The [pjuing?] of the year endg Dec. 31/62 was about £ Gross 47,434 Crown 5,511

It seems therefore that the gross Revenue is greatly increasing—but that the Crown Revenue of the 2nd quarter of 1863 is little more than one fourth of the years revenue of 1862.

Ackne.

I have seen a private letter saying that since the [rect] of my statement in the H. of Ls the price of Land has risen more than 30 per cent. N 20
