Sargeaunt to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

In reply to your letter of the 16th Ulto I have
the honor to state, for the information of the Duke of
Newcastle, that after meeting the Bill for £5,000 (which by
your letter the Crown Agents are authorized to accept) the
balance in hand belonging to the Government of British
Columbia will be £8419.7.7 from which the sum of £6250
will have to be disbursed during the early part of the
current month for the payments on account of the Interest
and Sinking Fund of the Loans of that Colony.
