Department on account of the Parliamentary Vote, and that the receipts on account of the local Revenue have amounted to £3409.14.8; aggregating £14,1108.14.8, and further, that during the same period, £26,061.17 has been disbursed on account of the fixed Establishments, and £1995.15.1 on account of Public Works. A Memorandum of this last item of Expenditure is annexed to the Enclosure, and will show that £1,391.0.7 have been disbursed on account of obligations left by Sir John Davis, and that £604.14.6 have been incurred on my own responsibility.
I need scarcely say that the outlay of £1,391.0.7 for Public Works I had no voice in incurring, though I have been compelled to pay it. As regards the sum of £604.14.6 disbursed on my own responsibility, it will be seen that the items composing the amount have been of a nature absolutely necessary and unavoidable.
I beg, however, here further to observe that had the grant of £34,200, as proposed by Sir John Davis, been passed by Parliament, instead of £25,000 as has been the Vote, £9,200. Deducting the deficiency as per account, £4,451, I should have had, at the close of the official year, a Balance of about £4,749 at my command.
(By reference to the Account, Your Lordship will further see that on the day of this month, I had at my disposal over £1,351.2.8, and I estimate that the Revenue during the next four months, that is until the close of the official year, may possibly be £10,601.5.142, aggregating £11,952.7.9, which is short of what I shall be called on to disburse for the Establishments alone with their ordinary Contingencies, viz £12,400. Independently of these claims, there are four others that cannot be avoided, being balances
