whole of his collections into the Bank every day
immediately before the Bank closes, and shall
obtain from the Bank a receipt, in the form in the
First Schedule annexed, and a receipt in an Office

after the time when it would have been possible
to pay it into the Bank, the Receiver shall pay in

him by way of salary, shall transmit the whole of
his collections up to the close of business on
Saturday, to the Bank at Wellington, by Post
Office Order or by Registered Letter, on every
succeeding Monday, with form of Bank Receipt,
and the Bank will transmit such Bank Receipt
to the Receiver-General, sending also a letter of
acknowledgment to the Receiver.

    to retain fees received by him by way of salary, he
    shall, upon the last Monday of each month, send
    to the Bank at Wellington an order in the form
    in the Second Schedule annexed, upon the Pay-
    master-General, in favour of the Public Account,
    for the total amount of all fees so received and
    retained by him from the date of his last account
    up to the close of business on the previous
    Saturday, and shall at the same time transmit
    to the Paymaster-General a receipt for salary to

    master-General, receiving such receipt, shall pay

    credit column the amounts of his payments into
    the Bank in the same order, and the number of
    the Bank Receipt; and every Receiver shall

    week, and shall carry out at the foot the totals of
    receipt and payment, and see that the totals
