Lordship had been good enough to make regarding the supply of subsidiary coins to this Colony, I have the honour to inform Your Lordship that a letter has been received from the Crown Agents stating that of the $1,000,000 worth of subsidiary coins required by the Colony during the current year, $800,000 would be shipped by the beginning of October, and that it was hoped it would be found possible to ship the balance of $200,000 so as to arrive here by the 1st of January.
