Description
Parliament granted on Jan. 20. £200,000, compensation for expenses of colonial governments in campaign of 1760; Bollan had asked for postponement of apportionment till his accounts from Massachusetts should arrive, hoping to get the additional winter service of Massachusetts troops, as garrison at Louisburg and in Nova Scotia, paid for from another source; has slight hope of success, because of the general financial depression, the approaching dissolution of Parliament, and his lack of detailed accounts; the same reasons prevent his answering West's proposal to give colonies only two-thirds of the grant because they furnished only two-thirds as many men as in 1759; the computations received Feb. 6th and 10th from the Lieutenant-Governor are not so satisfactory as more particular statements.
