* These debts are in respect of the Main Intercepting Drainage, being proportion of first instalment of £140,000, which has been repaid, together
with interest; and the other two items in this column are in respect of expenditure, which, in the ordinary course, would have been met by a Rate in
December, 1855, but which the Commissioners did not make, as their functions were then on the eve of termination.
