No. 64

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 81
of the 2nd July and to inform you in reply that the Paymaster
General has been authorised by the Lords of the Treasury to pay to
the Crown Agents the sum of £568 in repayment of the amount awarded by
your Government to Messrs Clarke and Skinner as compensation for the
premature termination of their contract for the supply of meat to the
Troops stationed at New Westminster in 1863.
