At Port Ag hur I was joined by Mr. A. K.

On arriving at lat Portage we found that both the members of the ftirm of Cameron & | wenanedy were absent from home, and as it was necessary to examinetheir books again before l making the demand of Dulmage, we were obliged to wait one day for their return before we could move in the matter. Mr. Lewis, Mr. Margach and I visited Cameron & Kennedy's office on Monday and Tuesday, the 15th and loth inst., and again went through their cash stsiement of moneys paid to Dulmage, and conpared it with the vouchers, On returning tu fiat Portage that afternoon Mr. Margach and I visited Dulmage at his house, and I mado a demand of him of the moneys owing by him to the Deparitment.
