Your Lordship will be pleased to sanction this expenditure?
The expenditure will amount to $1000, or £250, to which I beg to solicit your Lordship's approval and sanction. The usual documents for their detention at Penang were forwarded to Colonel Butterworth, Governor of the Straits' Settlements, and I beg to append a descriptive list of the Convicts for your Lordship's information.
I have the honor to be,
With the highest respect,
Your Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant,
Mt. Merivale
How is this expenditure to be provided for? Is it provided for by the Colony's funds or Convict funds?
The vote, taken in the United Kingdom, and I take it for granted therefore in passing this letter, that the present charge would be paid from the Colonial resources, are purely for Convicts sentenced under the Administration of Justice.

I am directed by Earl Grey to transmit to you, for the information of the Lords Comm's of the Treasury, the enclosed copy of a Despatch from the Governor of Hong Kong reporting that he had despatched 20 Chinese Convicts to Penang at an expense of £250, and I am to acquaint you that as it is according to the Governor's Instructions to remove Convicts to that place at free cost, their Lordships are disposed to approve of this expenditure unless they should be apprised that their Lordships see objection.
