and for the return of full and sufficient accounts
relating to all such moneys, and for the guidance of
all persons in the public service concerned in the
receipt, custody, and expenditure thereof; and all
such Regulations shall be published in the New

day to be named therein, and a copy of such Regula-
tions shall be laid before both Houses of the General

be appropriated for the public service of the Colony,
shall for the purposes of this Act, and so long as
they shall continue to be so held in trust, be deemed
and taken to be the property of Her Majesty, and shall
be paid into the Public Account and placed to the
credit of the Public Trust Fund: Provided that moneys
paid to any Receiver by way of deposit on account of

shall continue to be deposited, be deemed to be
the property of Her Majesty, and to be a part of the
Public Trust Fund; but such moneys shall not be
paid into the Public Account at the Bank, but shall
be dealt with and accounted for by the Officers
having the custody thereof, in such manner as shall
be directed by the Regulations made under the
authority of the said Act or of this Act:" And
whereas divers sums of money, being deposits on
account of Land Fund in respect of sales of land
within the County of Westland, made before the
separation of the said County from the Province of

made enabling such transfer to be made :

Now, therefore, His Excellency Sir George Ferguson

of all powers and authorities enabling him in this
behalf, and with the advice and consent of the
