153 + 54 = 207 (?) 34.

In the next sitting of the Legislative Council a question will arise with regard to the item in the Estimates for £20,000 for contribution in aid of Military Expenditure and I conclude from what took place at a Public Meeting lately held on the subject that this expenditure will not be allowed to pass unchallenged.

From the published correspondence it appears that it is definitely decided by His Excellency the Governor, W. T. Mercer, Esq., Colonial Secretary.
