£40,000 which the Colony "will pay over three years to expend £280,000 per annum on an increased garrison, while the remaining £240,000, will still be borne by the mother country. Could anything be plainer, particularly from this last mentioned paragraph, than that the Imperial Government intimated that they intended during these next three years to expend £280,000 on an increased garrison out of which they requested the Colony contribute £40,000?

3. But now the War-office takes a different line. The letter of the 14th of July insinuates that the increased contribution is not asked for so much because we are to have an increased garrison, but because the Colony's revenue has considerably increased.
