ceding that described in the thirty-eighth clause repay

case may be from whom he shall have received any
public money, the whole of the balance of such
moneys then remaining in his hands unexpended.
Provided that if it shall be inconvenient for any
Paymaster or Sub-Paymaster by reason of his dis-
tance from the Colonial Treasury, or from the office
of the Paymaster, as the case may be, to make such
repayment upon the day above-mentioned, such Pay-

when all public moneys in the hands of Paymasters
must be paid into the Public Account. Sub-Pay-
masters will repay the balances in their hands to the
Paymasters from whom they obtained such money,
the day before the last day of each quarter. For the
purpose of these repayments, any day on which the
