formal report to the President for transmission, after con-
firmation or otherwise, to the Colonial Treasurer.

18. He shall call on the bank to supply him with whatever
    office-room, materials, and clerical and other assistance he
    deems necessary for the efficient discharge of his duties, and
    the bank shall supply the same at its own cost.

19. He shall also be paid by the bank his travelling-ex-
    penses whilst absent from Wellington in the discharge of his
    duties. Such travelling-expenses shall consist of all sums
    actually paid by him for fares by rail, boat, or coach,
    together with a sum not exceeding one guinea per day during
    such absence, including the day on which he leaves Welling-
    ton, but excluding the day on which he returns there.

III. AS TO THE LONDON AUDITOR.

20. In respect of the business and affairs of the bank
    within the United Kingdom, the London Auditor shall have
    the same powers, functions, and duties as those conferred
    and imposed on the Colonial Auditor by Nos. 2 to 19, inclu-
    sive, of these regulations in so far as the same are applicable
    to the circumstances of the case within the United Kingdom,
    and those regulations shall, mutatis mutandis, apply accord-
    ingly.

21. When authorised by the Colonial Treasurer so to do,
    the Agent-General of New Zealand in London shall exercise,
    as regards the London Auditor and the business and affairs
    of the bank within the United Kingdom, all the powers and
    functions which by these regulations are conferred upon the
    Colonial Treasurer as regards the Colonial Auditor and the
    business and affairs of the bank outside of the United King-
    dom. But this regulation shall not affect the right of the
    Colonial Treasurer to himself exercise such powers and
    functions within the United Kingdom.

22. The London Auditor shall make all such reports and
    returns, and furnish all such balance-sheets and certificates,
    to the Colonial Auditor as the latter may from time to time
    request.

23. When furnishing any report, return, balance-sheet, or
    certificate to the bank, or the President, or the Colonial
    Treasurer, or the Agent-General, the London Auditor shall
    forward a copy thereof to the Colonial Auditor, and also
    to the manager for the time being of the bank in London,

24. Nos. 4 and 17 of these regulations shall, as regards the
    London Auditor, apply to the Chairman of the London
    Board instead of to the President.

SCHEDULE.

We hereby certify that, having carefully examined the fore-
going balance-sheet and statements, we are satisfied that they
have been correctly compiled from the books and accounts
of the bank, and that the balance-sheet is a full and fair
balance-sheet, properly drawn up, and exhibits a true and
correct view of the state of the bank's affairs at the date
thereof [or otherwise as the case may be].

Dated this day of

        A.B., General Manager.
        C.D., Accountant (or other
        authorised officer).

I, E.F., the Auditor appointed by the Governor in Council
under "The Bank of New Zealand Share Guarantee Act,
1894," do hereby certify,--

1. That, having carefully examined the foregoing balance-
   sheet and statements, I am satisfied that they have been
   correctly compiled from the books and accounts of the
   bank.

2. That I am also satisfied that the said balance-sheet is a
   full and fair balance-sheet, properly drawn up, and exhibits
   a true and correct view of the state of the bank's affairs at
   the date thereof [or otherwise if the balance-sheet and state-
   ment are incorrect, setting forth in such case the details].

3. That I have verified so much of the cash, investments,
   securities, and assets of the bank as at the date of the said
   balance-sheet were held at the Head Office in Wellington,
   and have had access to certified returns of so much thereof
   as were then held at the various branches and agencies of
   the bank, or were then in transit.

Dated this day of

        E.F.
