Treasurer, or by drawing a bill to the order of the Provincial Treasurer to the extent of two-thirds of the passage-money, accepted by a substantial householder also resident in the Province, to be approved of by the Superintendent, as sufficient security for the same. This bill may then be transmitted to the person who is desirous of emigrating to the Colony, and being by him presented to the Emigration Agent, will be received in lieu of cash payment, as hereinafter provided. The Bill will be re-transmitted to the Agent in the Colony, and must be paid immediately on presentation.

8. Assisted passages will be afforded only to bona fide labouring men, mechanics, and female domestic servants; but persons of all classes will be able to assist their friends to emigrate to the Colony by undertaking the payment of the whole of the passage money in the manner above provided.

9. No person will be allowed any assistance unless he shall have been approved of by the Emigration Agent in England. No single man above the age of 40 years; no person above the age of 50, unless a member of a large family; and no person above 60 years, under any circumstances, will be allowed assistance.

10. When bills are tendered in payment as cash in England, the amount of assistance given by the Government will be one-half of the amount of such bills. Persons, therefore, wishing to give their friends in England the utmost amount of assistance, must give bills for two-thirds of the whole amount of the passage money.

11. The rate of passage money, inclusive of incidental expenses, to the Colony is fixed, until further notice, at £17, and all bills will be prepared in accordance with that rate.

12. Applications for assisted passages will be received at the Secretary’s Office, in Christchurch; and at the Resident Magistrate’s Office, in Lyttelton.
