"to the Commissioners for Auditing "Public Accounts, Somerset House,

"London" on the 10th May, 1885, and that their receipt was duly acknowledged for Mr. Macauley, Secretary to the Commissioners, under date 7th July last.

How then these documents were delivered at the Colonial Office I am unable to discover, but it

appears that the Audit Clerk was on 10th May 1855 unable through sickness to attend to his duties and that the

checking of the accounts, Vouchers, &c., was conducted by Mr. Pienacker, who has by the last Mail proceeded

home on Medical Certificate, and will furnish what information he can on his arrival in London.

The last Accounts transmitted in

Your Despatch is evidently incorrect, and shows that some accident has

occurred, but

deficiencies will of course be noticed by the said Commissioners in London and can then be supplied from the Colony.

I have the honor to be,

With the highest respect,

Sir,
