It's
Minute by His Excellency the Governor.
Strictly speaking
183
cases
have
to be referred home first for approval,
but the
total sum is small in this
and therefore I sanction it at
once, but must be sent in the way indicated in the circular just
received from
Sir Michael Hicks Beach.
29th May, 1880.
(Signed) J. Pope Hennessy
