8.—21.

Return of the Amount contributed to the Revenue from Customs, Stamps, Land and Property-Tax, and Beer Duty, by each Provincial District, during the Financial Year ended 31st March, 1883.

Note.—The figures given for " Customs Eevenue " and " Beer Duty " 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 centred in the four principal ports, of which the chief one is in the Provincial District of Otago. The duty from stamps and property-tax can only be stated approximately. Under the head of " Stamp Eevenue " is now included revenue formerly separately shown as Judicial, Postal, and Land and Deeds; also fees previously stated under " and other Fees," but which are now collected by means of stamps.

Treasury, 24th August, 1883. Jas. B. Heywood, Accountant to the Treasury.
