PURTHPP RPPORT BY AUDITOR-GPNPPAL POP 1869-70.

Balance Sheet of Advances, page 164. The Imperial Government is stated to be indebted to the Colony in the sum of £215 14s. 2d. ; but in the Recapitulation of Advance Accounts, p. 170, the debt is stated to be £87 12s. lOd. The latter sum is correct. The error arises from the Treasury having inadvertently included a sum of £128 Is. 4d. due by the Commissariat on account of pensions, and shown at p. 166, in its proper place. Chaeles Knight, 22nd October, 1871. Auditor-General.
