Sargeaunt to Sandford (Assistant Under-Secretary)
I have the honor to apply for Earl Granville's authority for
paying a sum of £400 to the Bishop of Columbia on account of
Female Emigration, as requested by the enclosed letter from the
Colonial Secretary of that Colony.
The Crown Agents have recently received Bills from British
Columbia which when discounted will realize about £5483.0.0,
and propose to make use of that amount inthe
the following manner,
in accordance with the decision contained in Lord Granville's
despatch to the Governor of British Columbia No 23 of 13th
April last:

We have no advice of this from the Govr—nor is there any such sum included in the Estimates. As this is so it appears to me doubtful whether the £400 should be advanced to the Bishop. The Sinking Fund appears to be paid up to 1 Jany only.

We have received the Estimates for 1869. They are meagre in
point of detail—& instructions will have to be sent to the
Governor pointing out what it is
essential that we should know.
Meanwhile
as we have had no intimation from the Colony of any
"Female Immigration Scheme"—and no provision is made for such a
scheme in the Estimates, I sd inform the Crown Agents
accordingly, and direct them to let the Bishop know that no such
payments as are referred to by the Colonial Secretary can be
made to him for the present.
