not paid through the Crown Agents in accordance with the last paragraph of Lord Derby's Circular despatch of the 28th of June, 1884, I have the honour to state that the Harbour Master reports that he was unaware of the instruction in question, and that payment made in the case was referred to in accordance with what he believed to be the usual course.

3. I would, however, add that Captain Rumsey points out that to make the payments direct to the Board of Trade is a convenient method of dealing with refunds
