suggest that the Colony be requested to effect the periodical payments which are effected quarterly in
at the Treasury rate of Exchange,
this particular case
so as to secure that only the precise amount of the contri-
bution fixed for the year, and no more, is brought to
the credit of the British Exechequer
It will, in future, be more convenient
if each quarters payment is brought to credit before the actual expiration of the quarter, instead of being post-
poned till the ensuing month as is now the case.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant.
