Sir,
In the year 1858, on the appointment of Captain (now
Lieut Col Gossett R.E.) as Treasurer in New Columbia, a
Bond was given to Her Majesty's Treasury by Lieutt General
Moncrieff as surety—in the penal sum of £2000—which
Bond is now registered against the General.
As Lieutt Coll Gossett has long ceased to hold the
appointment, will you see that his accounts are correct and
instruct the Solrs to Her Majesty's Treasury to prepare a
Certificate of Discharge of this Judgment.
Your early attention will oblige as Genl Moncrieff
wishes to deal with some property which is affected by this
Judgment & he cannot do so until this is done.

Mr Elliot
Mr Buckland informs me that he cannot say anything on the subject of Mr Carr's letter without consulting the Audit Office, and that he has written privately to Mr Ryan, the Secretary, to ask him how the accounts stand. In the mean time he thinks the letter should be sent officially to the Treasury for reference to the Audit Office.
