this annual Expenditure
10 £ 423.10 with a distrussement
£423.10
the
of £260 at starting.
Considering the present State of the finances of Colony I cannot recommend your Excellency to sanction any outlay which is not imperatively necessary which will not by increasing the Colonial revenue recompense the Colonial Treasury for such outlay . The Registration Ordinance may be separated

adopt that which will at
the outlay it
once
repay
Caused.
