Hamilton to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

In reply to Mr Elliot's letter of the 18th Instant, I am
commanded by the Lords Commissoners of Her Majesty's Treasury to
acquaint you that the Paymaster General has been authorized to pay
to Capt. Kennedy, C.B. the sum of £800, as the Passage Allowance to
which he is entitled on his return home from administering the
Government of Vancouver Island, upon its union with the Colony of
British Columbia.
