Downing Street,
22nd May, 1868.

SIR, - I transmit to you herewith copies of Supple-
mentary Instructions issued by the Board of Trade to
Officers in the British Possessions abroad (completed
to the 31st December, 1867), which are a reprint of
the Circulars issued to those Officers by that Depart-
ment up to that date. I also enclose copies of the
Circulars named in the margin.*

I have, &c.,

Sir George Bowen.

Circular No. 267, dated 12th September, 1867.
Relief to be afforded to Masters.

The Board of Trade have no power under the Acts
relating to Merchant Shipping to obtain repayment of
expenses incurred in the relief of Masters.

Relief should therefore be extended to Masters in
the following cases only:—

1. When Masters are absolutely destitute, i.e. with-
   out private property and unable to obtain credit or
   private assistance, or to give a reliable guarantee for
   the repayment of expenses to be incurred by the
   Officer.

In such cases a subsistence allowance equal to twice
that made to Seamen may be given to the Master, and
he may be sent home under the usual Order (C.C. 14.),
at the rate of 2s. a day for the length of the passage;
but no more expensive clothing is to be allowed to
Masters than to Seamen.
