I have the honour to transmit for your

and to suggest that in future all such refunds should be

deducted from the revenue collected under the proper heads

instead of being treated as at present as items of Expenditure.

2. It seems to me unfair to tax the Colony for

Military Contribution on receipts which are only temporarily

kept by Government.
