No. 237, Military Expenses

Colonel Moody commanding the Troops in British Columbia
having made requisition on me for the sum of about Three Thousand
Pounds (£3000) to meet various payments in Military Account, I have the
honor to acquaint your Grace that not having the Colonial Funds
at my command to meet the requisition, I have been obliged to
instruct the Treasurer, to procure the before-mentioned Amount
by Bills on Her Majesty's Paymaster General and I trust your
Grace will be pleased to obtain the necessary authority from
the Lords Commissoners of the Treasury for the Bills presented
on this account to be paid when they become due.
