Julyan to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

With reference to your letter of the 18th inst authorizing the
issue of half Salary at £75 per annum from the 10th May to the
30th June ultimo to Mr G. Williams of British Columbia, I have
to state that the Crown Agents were instructed by the local
Government, by a letter dated 13th May last, to pay Mr
Williams for 6 months to the 10th November next at the rate of
£8.4.11 1/2 per month, and that they have already paid him two
months to the 10th instant.

Under the circumstances the Crown Agents request to be furnished
with the Earl of Kimberley's instructions for their future
guidance in this matter.
