In the Legislative Assembly Sir William Lyne (Premier of New South Wales) stated that the Hon E. Barton, the colony’s representative on the federal delegation, received £IOOO for his sendees and a free passage to London. Mr Barton had, however, asked for more owing to his stay in London having been longer than was anticipated. The other colonies had granted their delegates an additional £SOO.
