No. 14. The Treasury. The authorities to which the Audit Office is referred are approvals by the Minister after payment, not his extension before payment of the period for payment. J. K. Waebueton, 10th July, 1901. Controller and Auditor-General.

No. 15. The Audit Office. In the Solicitor-General's opinion attached, the Colonial Treasurer can approve the extension, and so make the payment a legal charge under the Act. 16th July, 1901. Jas. B. Hbywood.

No. 16. The Treasury. Yes. But it will be seen, by a reference to the Audit Office minute on that opinion, that it does not afford the Audit Office a satisfactory ground for altering its judgment in the matter. J. K. Wakbueton, 23rd July, 1901. Controller and Auditor-General.

No. 17. The Secretary to the Treasury. The Schedule attached hereto is of amounts paid after expiration of the prescribed period, approval to pay being given subsequent to date of payment.—E. M. —14/8/01.

Schedule of Amounts chargeable under Section 6 of the Amendment Act of 1900.
