HIS Excellency the GOVERNOR has been
pleased to direct that the attention of the
Heads of the various Departments of the Go-

ployed in the Departments on monthly or daily
wages, must be transmitted to this Office by the
Head of the Department for whose service they
are engaged, on the 6th day of each month suc-
ceeding that for which the wages are due; if these
documents upon examination prove correct in
every respect, they will be sent on to the Colonial
Treasurer for payment on the 12th.
Parties furnishing Supplies to the various De-
partments for the Public Service, Contractors,
and others, are required to send in their Bills of
Particulars to the Head of each Department, by

of the Department, enclosed in the usual Ab-
stracts, to this Office on the 8th; when, if found

enjoined to use their utmost exertions to give
effcct to these arrangements, as well in pointing
