§ MR. HOGANI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the difficulties that have hitherto operated to prevent the coinage of silver in the Australian branches of the Royal Mint have been removed.
§ MR. HANBURYThe Treasury have carefully formulated the difficulties which stand in the way of the arrangement desired; and I understand that their statement has been communicated to all the Australasian Governments. At present, however, the only reply which has reached the Treasury is that of the Government of Victoria.
