No. 5

I have received your Predecessor's Despatch No. 64 of the 3rd of
November last enclosing a copy of an application from Serjeant McColl of
the Royal Engineers to be relieved from the payment of the whole or part
of the sum of £105 for which he is liable on account of the passages of
his Wife and family from this Country to British Columbia in the year 1860,
together with a copy of a letter from Colonel Moody, Commanding the
Detachment, recommending that one half of that sum should be remitted.

Under all the circumstances of this case, I have to authorize you
to remit the sum of £52.10/—being that portion of the cost of the
passages of his Wife and family which, at the date of your Predecessor s
 Despatch, had not been recovered from Serjeant McColl by deductions from
his pay.
