JAS. B. HEYWOOD,
Secretary to the Treasury.

ROBERT J. COLLINS,
Accountant to the Treasury.

The foregoing accounts have been examined and found correct, subject to the following remarks :—

  1. The “ Customs,” “ Railways,” and “ Territorial Revenue ” receipts are not now examined by the Audit Office.
  2. The Audit Office is unable satisfactorily to verify the receipts of gold revenue, through the failure of the Mines Department to comply with a requisition for a certified statement of the amounts collectible as such revenue.
  3. The “ Advances in the hands of officers of the Government ” include payments to the amount of £60,515 7s. 2d., though the accounts of the same were received at the Treasury before the close of the quarter.

J. K. WARBURTON,
Controller and Auditor-General.

With reference to the above remarks, it is sufficient to reply that the revenues as named have been removed by law from the Audit Office examination for many years past ; and, as to the gold revenue, the statement referred to is not required by law.
With regard to the payments amounting to £60,515 7s. 2d. made by impresteees but not included in the account, these outstandings are known by the Audit Office to be unavoidable. It is as well, however, to state that the distribution of the payments is as follows, namely :—
Chargeable to the Consolidated Fund ... ... ... £18,000
" " Public Works Fund ... ... ... 6,800
" " Deposits Account ... ... ... 35,700

And of the two sums of £18,000 and £35,700, upwards of £50,000 is chargeable in respect of expenditure incurred in connection with the war in South Africa.

J. G. WARD,
Acting Colonial Treasurer.

30th May, 1902.
