Colony when the latter borrowing money was actually to pay at 8 per cent to its current expenditure, and stopping Public Works of sanitary importance.

It is not the intention, I presume, of Her Majesty's Government to insist on further payments.

12. As the Auditor General reports that it would require £2,000 along with the £5,000 sent by mistake to pay the September Quarter of the Military Contribution, to place the Colony in credit with the Crown Agents, and supposing it clearly understood that no funds are to be diverted for payment of any future Quarter of that contribution, I shall remit £2000 by next mail. It is too late to do so by this, because the Commissariat requires three days' notice of intended remittances by the Colony.

13. Relieved of the annual cost of the Mint and the Military contribution, this Colony would in due time right itself.
