No. 62

With reference to my Despatch No. 42 of the 27th August, In
which I had the honor to inform your Grace that in order to
provide for the accommodation &c &c of the Troops serving in
Vancouvers Island, I had drawn upon Her Majestys Paymaster
General for the sum of Two Thousand Pounds, I have now the honor
to inform Your Grace that in order to provide for the current
expenses of the Troops together with extra pay, I have been
compelled to draw a further sum of Two Thousand Pounds (£2000)
and I trust your Grace will be pleased to obtain the requisite
authority from the Treasury that the Bill may be paid when due.
