I have to acquaint you, for the information of 
M
                  Secretary Cardwell, that, pursuant to the directions conveyed
               in your letter of the 
31 ultimo, the 
Crown Agents paid
               to the credit of Naval Funds on the 
7 instant the
               sums of £3.9.8, £1.11.3 and £69.18.2 on account of the
               Government of 
British Columbia.
               
               The latter mentioned sum would have been paid on an
               earlier date, but the 
Crown Agents had a difficulty in
               obtaining
the
 the necessary Receivable Order from the Paymaster
               General's Department.
