As this grant has been allowed at the solicitation of the parties, and for the purpose of conveying them to Madras, it will be necessary before paying the respective sums to each person, to obtain from them security to this effect, - that this payment is in full of all claims on their part against this Government, and that they are not to remain here after receiving it, without which certificate the gratuity cannot be paid from the Treasury.
My letter 127 of the 6th instant, conveyed His Excellency's authority for your drawing upon the Treasury for £5 to be paid to the Orphan son of the late P. S. James S. Williams; and this gratuity is also made on the abovementioned conditions.
I have, &c.,
