Minute for Mr. Batkin.

It appears that £24,000 was paid at the request of the Comptroller into the Public Trust Fund after the Public Revenues Act was passed. How was this amount made up?

Has this sum or any portion of it been paid out? If so, state under what authority.

Are you aware whether any requisition was sent from the Treasury to the Comptroller for the sum of £6,031 18s. 9d. Dunedin Disputed Reserves?
