Stansfeld to Under-Secretary of State

The Lords Commissoners of Her Majesty's Treasury have had
before them Mr Herbert's letter of the 2nd instt enclosing a
copy of a letter from Mr Maunsell, Private Secretary to the
late Mr Seymour, Governor of British Columbia, applying to be
repaid his expenses of returning to England from the Colony
amounting to £110.

Their Lordships desire me to request that you will move the Earl
 Granville to cause them to be informed whether it is the
practice, as stated by Mr Maunsell, that the Passage of a
Private Secretary should be paid out of the allowance granted to
the Governor.
