ment of India have authorized arrangements being

ment of India are also prepared to advance the
amount of freight required to clear the consignment
of horses from the ships, together with captain's and
other fees connected with the voyage. Such advances

   the Government Remount Landing Depôt, Garden

   after detailed, and to any such directions as the Re-
   mount Agent, Calcutta, may give regarding the
   horses stabled in Government stables, and every
   shipper shall sign an agreement on landing to this
   effect, and that he will not remove any horse or
   horses without the special leave of the Remount
   Agent.

2. Every horse landed at the Government Remount
   Landing Depôt shall be subject to a charge of Rs. 10

Remount Agent.

3. The actual cost of landing the horses and sur-
   plus forage remaining at the end of the voyage will
   be borne by the shipper. The work will be carried
   out in the most economical way possible, the shipper
   and his assistants performing their due share of the
   work.

4. The shippers may, if they wish it, feed their
   horses on the remainder of the forage put on board
   their ships for the voyage. Grain, bedding, and
   fodder will be supplied, as required, under instruc-
   tions from the Remount Agent, to be paid for by the
   shipper at such rate as will cover the total cost of
   such supplies.

   will be provided by the Remount Agent, as required,
   and the shipper will be charged at the actual rate for

   until all the horses awaiting inspection in the Landing
   Depôt stables have been submitted for the approval
   of the Remount Agent.

8. All horses not selected by the Remount Agent
   for Government must be removed from the Govern-
   ment Landing Depôt within four days after the com-
   pletion of the Remount Agent's inspection on behalf
   of Government.

9. No horse is to be removed from the Government
   Landing Depôt without the permission of the Re-
   mount Agent.

10. Should the stables at the Government Landing
    Depôt be insufficient to accommodate all the horses
    landed at one time, horses shall be selected from the
    first arrivals, and be removed to the remount depôt
    at Ballygunge to await inspection of the remount
    officer. Such removal is to be at the risk of the
    shipper, and the horses are to stand at the Bally-
    gunge Remount Depôt on the same terms in every
    respect as if they were at the Landing Depôt at
    Garden Reach.

11. All charges of every kind whatsoever against
    the shipper will be recovered from him on payment
    being made for the remounts selected for Government
    by the Remount Agent.
