Sir
In acknowledging the receipt of your
Communication, No. 49/119, of yesterday's
date, I have the honor to suggest for the
consideration of the Governor, that the Surgeon
Superintendent of the Convict Ship, "Mount Stuart
Elphinstone", be instructed to receive in the
first instance from me, the sum of £177: 12: 4 1/4
for the purpose stated in your letter, and to hand
over the amount to the Police Magistrate, on his
arrival at Moreton Bay - this being the most
eligible mode of remitting the Cash, as there
is no branch Commissariat Chest at that
Station.
