Bank is prepared to accept liability for payment of

the charge of 5/- per ton handling charge on release

of the silver.

6. In view of the uncertainty of the present

financial situation it is not yet certain whether

this additional deposit will be required but in the

event of the Bank renewing its request to the Crown

Agents for the Colonies I see no option but to accept

liability, subject to such safeguards as may be

possible, for the storage charges and handling charges

on delivery.

A telegram to this effect of which a copy

is enclosed has been sent to the Crown Agents for the

Colonies accordingly.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

Live

Governor, &c.
