  • Notes:
  • This 'Third of Exchange' was a third copy of a tri-part invoice for payment on 'Account of Public Service' that was redeemable at His Majesty's Treasury, Whitehall London. Because of the possibility that a ship could be lost, it was the normal practice for the 'First of Exchange' (the first copy) and the 'Second of Exchange' (the second copy) of a transaction to be sent separately to London on different vessels, with only the first to arrive being honoured. The 'Third of Exchange' (third copy) was kept by the issuer as a receipt of the transaction. The 'First of Exchange' left Hobart Town on the 'Medway' on the 20th April 1828 and the 'Second of Exchange' on the 'Calista' on the 3rd July 1828.
