regard this Passage Allowance to that Colony.
In reply to your request in favor of the Bishop of Samos, I am to express Lord Hey's regret that it is entirely out of his power to accede to it, as there are no funds at his Lordship's disposal from which such a charge could be defrayed.
With respect to Passage Allowance to D. Davis, I am to state that Lord Grey is not aware of any arrangement or understanding existing between this Department and Dr. Polding on the subject.
When the Archbishop was about to sail from this Country for Sydney in last year, he applied for the grant of Passage Allowances for three priests who were clergymen proceeding to the Colony with him, and who had been recently selected under an authority dated at the beginning of the preceding year. To this application the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury declined to accede, and Dr. Polding had in the meantime sailed for the Colony, with the decision.
