No. 18, Financial

I have the honor to forward herewith an Abstract Statement,
exhibiting the Receipts and Disbursements of Imperial Funds, on
Military and Civil Account in connection with the Island of San Juan
&ca between the 1st April and 31st December 1861.

2. The expenditure of the Sum of Two Hundred and three Pounds,
Seventeen Shillings, and Six Pence (£203.17.6), was incurred upon the
requisition of Rear Admiral Sir Thomas Maitland, the Naval Commander
in Chief, for the erection of separate Cells, and for other additions
to the Prison at Victoria so that Naval Prisoners should be confined
apart from other Prisoners; and the outlay is therefore recoverable
from the Admiralty.
