if there is sufficient room (persons travelling on public service having preference); that the person or persons in whose favour they are issued may be required to leave the vessel at any port; that the acceptor of the ticket assumes all risks of accidents, and expressly agrees that the Government shall not be liable under any circumstances, whether by negligence, criminal or otherwise, of its agents or others, for any injury to the person or persons, or for loss or injury to property while using the ticket; and, as to such person or persons, the Government shall not be considered as common carriers or liable as such.
176. Ordinary business discretion must be exercised by responsible officers in despatching their subordinates on transfer to their destinations. In committing the Department to the paying of travelling-allowances, local officers must ascertain that those to whom they issue orders for removal are able to continue their respective journeys throughout their entire length without such stoppage as customary foresight and reference to a time-table would avoid.
177. Officers relieving Postmasters must not fail to furnish the nearest agent of the Bank of New Zealand with specimens of their signatures, for the purpose of verifying the counter-signatures to Treasury cheques and the signatures to cheques drawn on the Postmaster’s Deposit Account.
178. The attention of all officers is called to Regulation 4 (given hereunder) of the Civil Service Regulations, 1873, and it is directed that the provisions of the regulation be strictly adhered to :—
Fees or Remuneration not to be received.
- No fee, reward, or remuneration of any kind whatsoever beyond his salary shall be received and kept for his own use by any officer for the performance of any service for the Government. All fees received by officers attending in their official character under a subpoena or order to give evidence or to produce papers in any Court shall be paid by such officers into the general revenue, and such officers shall duly enter and account for all fees received by them for the performance of such duty, and shall transmit to the head of their branch an account and vouchers of all the necessary expenses, if any, incurred by them in the performance of such duty.
179. A relieving Postmaster is not entitled to the fees or commissions payable to a Postmaster; but in cases where the latter is absent on extended leave, exceeding a period of three months, the relieving officer may claim fees and commission.
