No. 121

I have the honor to transmit to you the enclosed copy of a letter
from the Master of the Mint to the Treasury with the Account therein
enclosed of expenses incurred for the Refinery and Assay Office
established in British Columbia. This Account shows a sum of £152.3.8 due to the Mint beyond the sum of £1800 which was provided for in the
Parliamentary Grant of last year.

The Lords Commissoners of the Treasury have paid to the Mint this
excess of £152.3.8. I have to instruct you to repay the amount to their
Lordships in the manner pointed out in my other instructions by the
present opportunity relative to the sum of £6,900 due for the Specie
supplied to the Colony last year.
