required, they will be otherwise procured in like
manner.

In cases where the article is of a perishable
nature, or from some other cause, injury would
be sustained either by the parties to whom the
Rations are due, or to the Contractor, by waiting
for a Board of Survey, the head of the department
shall have power to reject such article or articles
as are obviously of inferior quality; it being dis-
tinctly understood that he will be responsible to
the Government for so doing; and that the Con-
tractor will have a right to appeal to the Governor,
although, in the mean time, he must take back
the rejected article and supply good in its stead.

A repetition of irregularity in the quality or
quantity of the supplies, or of any delay in deliv-
ering or replacing them when required, will sub-
ject the Contractor, upon the report of the officer
in charge of the parties or establishment, to such
mulct, not exceeding one fourth the amount of his
monthly account, as the Governor may direct. It
will also be in the power of the Governor, upon
such repetition, to terminate the contract.

It will be in the power of either party to limit
the duration of the contract, by giving in writing
a notice of three full calendar months to the oppo-
site party, and to end the contract at the expira-
tion of that period.

The Contractor will be required to prepare his
own account, monthly or quarterly, in the pre-
scribed form; and on the production thereof, with
the requisite vouchers, in a complete state, to the
officer receiving the supplies, the same will be for-
warded by the latter to the Treasurer, in order
that a warrant may be prepared, and payment
made from the Colonial Treasury.

The value of all packages to be included in the
prices demanded.

Forms of Tender may be obtained at this Office;
and as adequate security will be required for the
due fulfilment of the Contract, no Tender can be
attended to unless accompanied by a certificate
from the parties proposed as such, stating that
they are willing to become bound as securities for
the Contractor accordingly, and the bonds must
be executed within ten days from the day of
acceptance of the Tender being notified, failing of
which the contracts will be again advertised, or
another Tender accepted.

The Tenders to contain the names of the Ten-
derers and their Sureties, and places of residence,
at length.

All Tenders to be enclosed in a separate enve-
lope, and marked "Tender for Provisions, &c."

Further particulars and information may be
obtained on application at this Office.

requested to attend at this Office, at the time
appointed for receiving the Tenders.

By His Excellency's command,
WILLOUGHBY SHORTLAND.
