Excerpt from Records of the Cape Colony, Vol. 27: From June to September 1826, Copied for the Cape Government, From the Manuscript Documents in the Public Record Office, London It would not be proper in this place to make any observation on the project of the Commissioners which cannot I under stand be forwarded to Your Lordship by this Mail. I shall have occasion to address them on the subject, and will then have the honor Of submitting to Your Lordship what occurs to me on this important topic. The proposed arrangement, if forwarded to England by the next opportunity, may arrive in time to enable me to receive Your Lordship's commands by the beginning of next year, which will be the proper time for the adoption of any new system of finance, as it has been the practice in the Country Districts of this Colony to collect the taxes for the current year in the months of March and April. In the mean time I hope to be able to provide for the Service Of the Colony without any increased demand on the British Treasury.
