With reference to your letters of the 15th July 1865 and 12th

 Island for certain stores required for the Lighthouses in that
Colony, I am directed by the Board of Trade to transmit to you a
statement of the expenses incurred by this Department for the
supply of the stores amounting to £212.16.10 and to request that
you will move the Secretary of State for the Colonies to give
directions for this sum to be paid to Her Majestys Paymaster
General, to be placed to the credit of the Vote for Lighthouses
abroad.
