   after detailed, and to any such directions as the
   Remount Agent, Calcutta, may give regarding the
   horses stabled in Government stables, and every
   shipper shall sign an agreement on landing to this
   effect. He is also to agree that he will not remove
   any horse or horses without the special leave of the
   Remount Agent, and that he will immediately re-
   move any horse or horses on being requested to do
   so by the Remount Agent.

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

In return for this charge, horses that are intended
to be presented for purchase by Government will be
stabled in the depôt until considered in fit condition
to be submitted for approval to the Remount Agent.
Horses that are not intended for Government, but
that are imported for private sale, cannot be stabled
in the depôt, and must be removed from the premises
as soon as possible after having been landed.

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 fod-
   der will be supplied, as required, under instructions
   from the Remount Agent, to be paid for by the ship-
   per at such rate as will cover the total cost of such
   supplies.

   the Remount Agent considers them in fit condition
   for such inspection.

8. Horses will be received at the landing depôt
   from the 15th August until the end of the purchas-
   ing season.

9. The Remount Agent can, if he considers it
   necessary, refuse to receive into the depôt any horse
   or horses.

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 Govern-
    ment by the Remount Agent.
