4. The estimated demand,
to be submitted to Parliament,
then stood as follows:
Ordinary Services, £38,900
Public Works, £20,000 £58,900
5. On the other hand,
the amount of Ordinary Revenue was assured from
the actual Revenue for the
Calendar year 1847, as it
appeared in the Governor's
Despatch No 11 of the 14th
of January 1848, at £31,078.
The best guide to expected
Revenue was held to
be the actual experience of
the past year.
And inasmuch as there appeared on the face
of the accounts to be
a Balance in hand, Lord Grey
considered that it would
be justifiable to apply
for the annual Grant
to Parliament without making
allowance for that Balance.
It is true that some reason
had appeared to apprehend that at an earlier period there must have been some
confusion in the Colonial Accounts. Whilst the Gov. had for some years reported
a Balance in Cash, annually,
the Board of Audit in
England had latterly viewed the
Colony as largely deficient.
