• This file was marked by you to Mr .Young, bulf as M
dealt vdth oonsular and diplomatic expenditure he brought it
to me on the'-.ground that it seemed to be more my side of the
Department than 'his. As there seemed to be some force in
this contention I hdve taken it over. The accounts given
by Colonels Gough and Trevor are not easy to understand, and
took me some time to master, -but the following suggested reply
will, I hope, make things clear.-?
1. I do not think much stress need be laid on the
difference of T^.30,000 for the Bahar£u Expedition in the
respective estimates made by the Government of India and
Sir C. Marling. Obviously the former telegraphed to the
latter that 50,000 would be required in addition to the
Ts.30,000 already sanctioned, but the Government of India
understood -feew to mean Tf.50,000 including the sanctioned
amount.
2. Colonel Gough's account is far from clear, but I
have numbered the items contained in it and those in Colonel
Trevor’^ statement of the 19th February, and the following
comparison between the two will, I think, make matters
intelligible:-
