No. 38

I have had the honor to receive Your Lordship's despatch
Vancouver Island, No. 1 of 1st of January 1867, respecting
the intended payment to his Mother of the property left by the
late John Curry. Your Lordship enquires if a letter on the
subject from Mr Pease M.P. who has interested himself in it has been
received by Mr Young, and if so, what has been done in the matter?

2. On application to Mr Young I learn that he did receive
Mr Pease's letter and that he replied on the 22nd of
December last stating that the Colonial Agents had been authorized
to pay to Mrs Curry the sum of sixty six pounds fourteen shillings
(£66.14), less charges of remittance &c upon their being satisfied
that she was the Mother of the deceased Intestate, John Curry.
Further that the money might be paid into Mr Pease's hands upon
order from Mrs Curry.
