His Honor the Superintendent of the Province of Canterbury, with the advice of the Executive Council, hereby notifies that, on and after the 1st day of January, 1864, the following Regulations shall be observed:
-
The Departments of the Provincial Government being, politically speaking, under the responsible charge of the Provincial Secretary, all communications respecting their proper working must be addressed to him.
-
Prompt and careful attention must be given by all Officers and others in the employment of the Provincial Government to the instructions they may receive from the Provincial Secretary; and any information which such Officers may be called upon to give, must be rendered as fully and accurately as possible, and without delay.
-
A register shall be kept in each department of all communications received and forwarded, and each communication is to be numbered, so as to facilitate reference.
-
Official letters are to be addressed to the various Government Officers by their official title only, and each letter to be exclusively confined to one subject.

All Government offices shall be open for six hours every day — that is to say, from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m., except on Saturdays, and then from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m.; and no Government Officer, other than the Head of a Department, shall absent himself during those hours.
-
An appearance-sheet shall be kept in every office, in which the names of all persons employed therein, together with the hour at which they enter the office and the hour at which they leave the same, shall be entered by such Officer as the Head of the Department shall appoint. The appearance-sheets of the previous week shall be left at the Provincial Secretary’s office, not later than 10:30 a.m. every Monday morning. This regulation shall not be understood to apply to Heads of Departments.
