Sargeaunt to Sandford (Assistant Under-Secretary)

In continuation of my letter of the 27th April last, I have the
honor to report, for Earl Granville's information, that the
Crown Agents have since that date received from the Government
of British Columbia further remittances amounting to the sum of
£4000, which, with the balance standing to the credit of that
Colony in the Books of this Office, will be sufficient to meet
the interest falling due on the 1st and 15th proximo.

The contributions to the various Sinking Funds have been paid up
to the close of last year, but those due in January and April
last, amounting in all to £5175, are still in arrear, and the
further sum of £4050 will be due on the same account on the
15th proximo.
