They request to be informed whether the Ordinance No. 12 of 1857, involving an expenditure of £305,174/57 per annum on account of an Establishment for a Lock Hospital, has been approved of by part of a very important scheme for checking progress of venereal diseases, and whether the expenditure has been sanctioned.
It was stated that any outlay proposed in Schedule B of Ordinance No. 14 for a new Central and Western market has been specially submitted for His consideration -
It was reported that there was little doubt that the sum of £31,279-3-9 standing to the credit of the Colony with the Oriental Bank would be held applicable towards the Expenditure, in excess of the Anticipated Revenue.
Their Lordships are not aware of the circumstances under which the sum was credited. As stated in Mr. Caine's despatch No. 83, there was £15,000 placed in the Treasury in 1856.
In the mean time they will not object to the Confirmation of the Ordinances Nos. 14 and 15 of 1858, but they would suggest that the accounts sent to them should show the progressive increment of Revenue. I confess, however, to some surprise at the deposit having reached £3,000.
