JOSEPH SHEPHARD,
Provincial Treasurer.

I hereby certify that I have examined the accounts of the Provincial Treasurer of the Province of Nelson, for the Year ended 31st March, 1872, and have compared them with the Vouchers, and find the computations correct; that the Revenues and Receipts brought on charge and required by law to be paid into the Provincial Account were so paid; that all moneys issued in payment of services rendered were legally available according to the terms of the Provincial Audit Act, 1866; and the Expenditure shown in the said accounts has been properly classified, and that any part thereof which may have been incurred without authority of law is separately shown.

Nelson, April 19, 1872.

H. D. JACKSON,
Provincial Auditor.
