Year 1855, comprising the Receipts and Disbursements made here and through the Agent in England.
The review of the financial state of the Colony for the past year is particularly interesting from the fact of the Revenue being almost equal to the amount of that of most preceding years, and only from its being the first year in which no aid was required from the Mother Country under the form of Grants by the Imperial Parliament.
A short comparison of the Annual Income and Expenditure with that of previous periods and administrations will best illustrate the inferred state of the Colony as regards its financial position, viz:
# under the administration of Sir John Davis.
