u months, $500; total, SIP, leav-
ing balance due him of $500. His

due him. l would therefore ask
His Excellency to inform this

paid to Mr.. Forsyth or not?
.. If it has been paid from what
appropriation has it been paid?
3. Did His EXcelency when he
approved three bills of Mr.. Forsyth
sign them as Minister of Interior?
4. Are these bills, if so approved,
just claim upon this Government?
5. What difference is there be-
tween a bill approved in writing, an
acknowledged CLAIM, and an LOU?
6. Has a Minister the right under
the law to pay such claim as Mr..
Forsyth has, for which no provision
has been made by the Legislature,
from any appropriation made for
another purpose?
