Note.-The amounts in column I do not appear in the ordinary accounts of
Imperial revenue and expenditure. The amounts in the second column include
the amounts in the first column as well as in the grants.
, These figures include Army and Navy extra receipts and contributions by
India for military charges, and are not strictly comparable with the later years.
Excluding these amounts, the figures for 1871 would read, revenue 68.2 million £,
eXFnditure 67.8 million £.
Including 68.6 million £ for war expenditure.
S There were Government grants in 1861 and 1871, as well as in later years;
but the summary ot tbe local taxation accounts in the .. Statistical Abstract,"
from which the figures in this column were taken, does not go so far back as
1861, and the exact sums for comparison could only be ascertained with difficulty.
They would be less, and not more, than in 1881.
