36. The thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth Regulations shall not apply to deposits for duties of Customs, which the Receiver shall in every case repay in full to the depositor upon payment of the duties on account of which the deposit was made.

37. As often as the balance at credit of the Receiver’s Deposit Account is insufficient to meet immediate claims thereon, the Receiver shall apply to the Receiver-General, by telegraph if necessary, for such sum as may be required to restore the balance to one hundred pounds (the maximum amount authorised to be retained), or to meet any claim in excess of that amount.

38. Every Receiver who receives money by way of deposit shall keep a separate cash-book, to be called the Receiver’s Deposit Cash-book, in the form in the Eighth Schedule hereto, in which he shall enter on the debit side, under the proper date, in the order in which he receives it, every sum deposited with him, carrying out the totals of daily payments into the bank; and he shall enter on the credit side, in the order of payment, the sums paid to depositors or others, to the Receiver-General’s Deposit Account, or to the Public Account, carrying out the daily totals of such payments.

39. Entries in the Deposit Cash-book of all sums received shall be numbered consecutively from one upwards; and on repayment of any deposit, or any part thereof, the number thereof shall be entered in the proper column on the credit side of the Cash-book.

40. Every Receiver shall balance his Deposit Cash-book at the close of business on Saturday, and shall, by the first mail thereafter, transmit to the Receiver-General a copy of so much of it as he has not previously sent, accompanied by a bank receipt for each sum paid into the Deposit Account, and by the deposit or other receipt for each sum repaid to the depositor. He shall also transmit therewith a certificate by the bank of the balance of his Deposit Account in the form in the Eighth Schedule hereto, together with the declaration in the form in the same Schedule that the statement of account is complete and correct.

If during any period no deposits are received, the Receiver shall forward to the Receiver-General a “Nil” return, as provided in the twenty-fifth Regulation.

41. In cases in which there is no bank in the neighbourhood of the Receiver, the deposits shall be dealt with as the Treasury may direct, and the balance of such deposits shall be ascertained and certified in such manner as the Treasury may further direct, and the Receiver will be instructed to modify the form of the certificate in the Deposit Cash-book accordingly.

(b.) In cases where the survey is made by some surveyor specially employed for the purpose,—in favour of the person so employed.
