In continuation of my former letter above referred to,
the Master's Allocatur was forwarded to the Crown Solicitor, with our request for payment, on the 10th June last, the day on which the Costs were taxed.

I may mention that interest at twelve per cent is claimable and will be claimed on the amount of the taxed costs, viz. $1,426.= from the ultimo.
