Romaine to Under-Secretary of State

Sir,

I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
to transmit, herewith, to be laid before HM's Secretary of State
for the Colonies the enclosed statement, with voucher, of
expenses incurred by the Naval Department, on account of the
Colonial Office, for extra pay to certain men of HMS "Sparrowhawk,"
for transferring oil from the Hudson's Bay Company's Ship "Severn"
to the Fisguard Light house, amounting to
 nine shillings & three
pence; and I am to request that payment of the amount may be made
to the credit of Naval Services through HM's Paymaster General
who has been authorized to receive the same.
