Referring to your Despatch No. 78 of 26th......

2728 March, 1912, I have the honour to inform you that the Colonial

Treasurer states that he has frequently explained to the Legisla- -tive Council that the General Account of the Colonial Government

is an account of current actual receipts and payments only but

owing to the fact that his seat is imediately in front of the

reporters the reports of his speeches are always very defective.

I have the homur to be,

sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,
