4. With reference to paragraph 10 of my Despatch, above quoted, I have the honour to report the costs in the case of the claims of the owners of Nos. 88 & 92 were $3,718.45. Therefore the total cost to Government of these two cases has been as follows:-

1st. case... $12,318.45
2nd. case.... 5,993.65
$18,312.10

I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
W. H. Marsh (likely, though the original text is 'Mangare', which seems to be an OCR error)
Governor, &c.
