Sargeaunt to Sandford (Assistant Under-Secretary)

Referring to my letter of the 12th ultimo I have the honor to
report for Earl Granville's information that the Crown Agents
have received from the Government of British Columbia bills
amounting to £3500 which the Bank of England have been requested
to discount for the purpose of providing the necessary funds to
pay interest on British Columbia Debentures due on the 1st instant.
