Showing two items in which more has been receiv-
Ell than first reported, viz;
Raj Estate. 100 making sa127s.
and fur items in which less has been received, viz:
l.sa@sl tI peic &is5535
Subtract the upper from the lower anu there will
he i difference Of 80; Sg7 81, instead of, as mention
ed above, in tine first subtraction u the totals Of TIE
two reports Of S3.4J1 81. But by summing the
column IN the arst report II page 10, it will be found
that the footing should be SJO,6J2 ~, instead Of
gD.7S2 II as there stated.
Under the head Of Miscellaneous, there will be
found but two errors, namely, Exchoguer Bill C.,
old report, $50 new report, 30. ExcLequer Bill
Il. OLD report, = 1920, new report, 1880. And it
will be observed that the excess Of the one balances
the uuieTsta;ement Of the other, it is therefore n
matter Of no farther interest than to show the mac.
curacy With which the accounts were made up. The
only other matter worthy OF mentioning under this
head is-tOur charges not mentioned in the first re-
port, hut mentioned in the second, the result of
which seems to be $50 s., to the credit Of this &C.
count.
Thus We have placed before the House the differences between
errors in the nrst report. That IN 5- first reror, money was
