84 George Street,Edinburgh, 25th May 1847.
In obedience to the Remit by the Honourable Board of Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses, I have carefully audited the Accounts of the Board for the year ending 31st March 1847; and I have to report, that the Accounts are clearly and accurately stated—that they are fully vouched—and that, in my humble opinion, the Report of the Secretary contains a very distinct statement of the Intromissions of the Board during the above period.
(Signed)KENNETH MACKENZIE,Accountant.
