TABLE No. 6. Debt at 31st March, 1884.

TABLE No. 7. Debt at 31st March, 1892.

*It is not strictly correct to say that this amount was outstanding, because, while the.Treasury might have issued debentures for £2,131,200 os. 2d. (see Table No. 1), it only issued £2,117,781. Deducting the difference between these two amounts from £872,808 4s. 9d., there remains £855,392 4s. 7d., which, on the other hand, has to be increased by the following small sums released, but not applied by the Treasury in 1886-87, £17 lis. Bd.; in 1891-9-2, £3 3s. 9d. These being added, the result is £850,413, as stated in Table No. 2.

TABLE No. 8.

* Trustees have dispensed with further contributions from the Treasury. t The contribution from the Treasury annually is 1 per cent, on the amount of the original loan —£7,283,100, and 5 per cent, on the amount of the drawn bonds; the amount, including £210,500 drawn in March last, is now £2,939,800. } Exclusive of £103 15s. belonging to loan of 1860, matured.
