WELLINGTON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1867.

G. GREY, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
twelfth day of January, 1867.
Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand, intituled "The Comptroller's
Act, 1865," it is enacted amongst other things
that-"Every Receiver or Collector of Public
Revenues, or any other person in the public service,
to whom any moneys shall be legally payable for or
on account of the revenue, shall, under regulations
to be framed by the Governor in Council
(not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Act), pay all such moneys which shall come to his
possession or control, into such Bank or Banks, at
such place, and in such manner, and at such times, as
the Governor in Council shall from time to time
appoint, and such moneys shall be paid by such
Receiver or other officer aforesaid, to an account in
such Bank to be called the 'Public Account.'"

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
exercise of the power vested in him by the said
hereinbefore recited Act, doth hereby, with the advice
and consent of the Executive Council of the Colony
of New Zealand, frame and declare the following to
be the regulations under which moneys are to be
paid to the "Public Account."

FORSTER GORING,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

REGULATIONS.

1. Every Receiver of Public Money will pay in the
   whole amount of his collections except as hereinafter
   mentioned (clauses 2 and 3) daily, (or if such daily
   collections do not amount to the sum of five pounds,
   then as soon as such collections reach that sum),
   taking care on the last day of the month to pay in
   the whole balance of moneys in his hands, whatever
   the amount, to the credit of the account to be
   called the "Public Account" in the Bank of New
   Zealand, and will at the time of such payment obtain
   a receipt in the Form A. If there should be no
   branch or agency of the Bank of New Zealand in
   the place where the office of such Receiver is situate,
   then the amount of his collections is to be remitted
   to the Sub-Treasurer of the district by Post Office
   Order, or in such other way as the Colonial Treasurer
   may direct.

2. Charges on the sale of public property, the
   share of penalties to seizing officers, informers, prose-
   cutors or other persons, drawbacks and refunds of
   Customs duties, the salaries payable (out of fees) to
   District Registrars of Births, Deaths, and Marriages
   in out districts, and payments in respect of Money
   Orders, where any of such sums respectively are by
   any law or regulations now in force properly payable
   by Receivers out of their collections, may be paid out
   of such collections, but such payments must not be
   shown in the Receiver's account by deduction. An
   account current must be sent with the account show-
   ing the whole amount of revenue received on one
   side, and the manner in which it has been disposed of
   on the other. Proper vouchers must be produced in
   support of the expenditure, and the whole handed to
   the Sub-Treasurer with the accounts and vouchers.
   This will not apply to District Registrars, who need
   only send a receipt for fees retained as salary, on
   receipt of which the Sub-Treasurer will grant receipt
   for the amount as fees accounted for.

3. Moneys temporarily received in deposit, such as
   (1.) Customs deposits in respect of entries to be
   passed for, &c.,
   (2.) Deposits paid into Law Courts,
   (3.) Deposits under Land Regulations,
   (4.) Moneys received for and retained to meet
   Money Orders,

(where such moneys are by law or regulations now in
force properly returnable by the Receiver-see clause
2,) must, unless otherwise directed, be lodged daily
in the Bank of New Zealand, to a "Deposit Account"
in the name of such Receiver, until they are so
returnable, or until they can be transferred to the
