Treasury, Wellington,
30th May, 1865.

SIR,—I have the honor to direct your careful
attention to the enclosed Regulations; and with a
view to ensuring promptitude and regularity in the
returns of officers in the receipt of public moneys, I
am directed by the Hon. the Colonial Treasurer to
require you to withhold the salary of any officer,
accountable to your Sub-Treasury, who shall neglect
or delay, without reasonable cause shown, to account
for such moneys, whether they have come into his
charge as collections of the revenue or by way of
advance under imprest.

And I am to request that you will report, for
the information of the Colonial Treasurer, any case
in which you may have found it necessary to carry
out the above directions. I have, &c.,

J. WOODWARD,
The Sub-Treasurer, &c. Assistant Treasurer.

Regulations.

Officers acting in the collection of revenue are
required to furnish their returns and pay in their
balances monthly, with the exception of those in
country districts distant from a Sub-Treasury, who
are to account quarterly.

Officers in receipt of advances under imprest are
required to account for their expenditure so soon as
the services are completed for which such advances
were made, and forthwith to refund any unexpended
balance.

In cases where advances are made for a continuous
service, (and no advance should be made to cover
more than three months' estimated expenditure,) an
account current of receipt and expenditure must be
rendered quarterly, no further advances being made
till such accounts are received and settled.
