Return showing, under distinct headings, the respective Amounts contributed by each Provincial District to the Colonial Revenue from Customs, Stamps, Land- and Property-Tax, Beer-Tax, and Territorial Revenue, for the Financial Year ending 31st March, 1882.

Note.—The figures given for Customs duties and beer-tax represent the amounts collected at the ports in each provincial district. They do not represent the contributions of the respective districts to the revenue, because duty-paid goods are largely exported from one district to another for consumption ; the foreign import trade of the colony being practically centered in the four principal ports, of which the chief one is in the Provincial District of Otago. The duty from stamps and the land- and property-tax can only be stated approximately. James C. Gavin, Treasury, 13th June, 1882. Secretary to the Treasury.

Return of the Amount contributed to the Revenue from Customs, Stamps, and Beer-Duty by each Provincial District during the Financial Year ended 31st March, 1882.

James B. Hetwood, Treasury, 13th June, 1882. Accountant to the Treasury.
