Sir,

Enclosure 1.

COPY.

C.

6851

Treasury.

17th, February, 1896.

3 FAR 96.

301

I have the honour to forward the Amended

Statements of Assets and Liabilities and of Revenue and

Expenditure for the year 1894.

2. The error of $8,675 over-stated on the

Asset and Receipt sides of the original Statements arose

as follows:-

In calculating the balance of the Money

Order Account, two bills which had been paid to the Crown

Agents on account of this Government were put down as out-

standing and one bill which was outstanding was put down

as paid, thereby rendering the balance brought to credit

of Miscellaneous Receipts, erroneous to the extent of the

amount above-stated.

As regards the Statement of Assets and Lia-

bilities the first two bills were put down as Assets and

the last being omitted accordingly there was an error of

the same amount in the balance.

The Honourable

The Colonial Secretary.

I have,& &C.

(Sd.) A. M. Thomson,

Acting Treasurer.
