Accounts to England to be audited there. Your Lordship will observe that Mr Rennie has been informed that, under the Exchequer and Audit Department Act of 1866, the accounts of such Colonies as still forward accounts to England will have to be sent to the Colonial Office, instead of to Somerset House, and he therefore considers the opportunity a favorable one for reconsidering the expediency of insisting on transmission to England of duplicates of the Vouchers themselves, which from their nature are only useful here and whose validity as acquittances can only be tested here.
Mr Rennie describes the Abstract Books, Cash Books, Journal, and other documents, which at present are regularly forwarded, as sufficient without the receipts to form a perfect record of the transactions of the Colony.
Therefore, as it is very desirable not to incur the present expenditure of stationery, clerical labor and delay which is absorbed in the preparation of the duplicate receipts, unless the latter be clearly indispensable, I trust that Your Lordship will cause the Suggestion of Mr Rennie to be duly considered in the proper quarter.
I have the honor to be,
Your Lordship's Most obedient humble Servant,
Acting Administrator,
Governor.
