CIRCULAR No. 62. M. (To be substituted for
Circular No. 57.)
Admiralty, 28th November, 1871.
COALS USED ON COLONIAL SERVICE.

It has been decided, with the concurrence of the
Secretary of State for the Colonies, that whenever
any of Her Majesty's ships are specially employed,
on the requisition of the Governor or other Colonial
authority, in conveying any officer or persons belong-
ing to a Colony, or on any other similar purely
Colonial service, the cost of coals expended by Her
Majesty's ships whilst so employed shall be borne by
the Government of the Colony for which such service
may be rendered. My Lords, therefore, desire that
in all such occasions a separate account shall be kept
of the fuel expended, with a view to a claim for the
cost of the same being subsequently raised against
the Colonial Department.

It must, however, be understood that this rule is
not intended to apply to a voyage made by one of
Her Majesty's ships from one part of a station, in
order to perform some Colonial service in another,
as the ship might in such case probably be employed
during the voyage on general services, but the value
of the fuel will only be claimed from a Colony when
the expenditure is bona fide rendered necessary for
Colonial service on Colonial requisition.

The cost of the fuel is to be calculated at the local
rate at which supplies may be obtainable by Her
Majesty's ships at the period during which the
services required are carried out.

The coals thus expended are to be distinguished in
the Store Expense Books of the ships employed, and
a return of the quantities consumed and of the local
rates at which the issues should be computed, duly
approved by the Commanding Officer and certified
by him to be a transcript as to quantities of the
ship's expense accounts, is to be forwarded on each
occasion by the first opportunity to the Accountant-
General of the Navy. A comparison of these returns
will be made with the Store Expense Books of the
ship when received.

By command of their Lordships.
G. SHAW LEFEVRE.

To all Commanders-in-Chief, Captains, Commanders,
and Commanding Officers of Her Majesty's Ships
