N. B. The decrease, at Wellington, of £233 19s. 7d., for the Quarter ending 5th January, 1847, arises from a large amount of Debentures having been paid as
Duties during the Quarter ending 5th January, 1846, between the receipt of Private and Official intelligence at that place of the disallowance of the
Debenture Ordinance.
