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 or other receipt for each sum paid. He shall also transmit
therewith a certificate by the bank of the balance of his Deposit
Account in the form in the Sixth Schedule hereto, together with
the certificate in the form in the same schedule that the statement
of account is complete and correct.

54. If during any period no deposits are received or refunded, the
    Receiver shall forward to the Receiver-General a “Nil” return.

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

Deposits with Receivers of Land and Gold Revenue for Surveys.—

56. When any survey in respect of which deposits are received is
    completed, the Chief Surveyor of the district shall forward to the
    Receiver a voucher certified in the following manner—viz. :

(a.) In cases where the survey is made by the permanent staff
of the Lands and Survey Department—in favour of the
Public Account.

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

On these vouchers the Receiver shall note the amount and the date
of receipt of each deposit, and shall forthwith pay them out of his
Deposit Account either to the Public Account or to the surveyor
entitled, as the case may require. Any balance repayable to the
depositor the Receiver shall thereupon refund to him.

Deposits with Tenders on account of Contracts.

57. Every deposit on account of a contract shall be made, unless
    otherwise specially provided by the conditions of the contract, by
    a banker’s cheque on some bank nearest to the place at which the
    tenders are appointed to be received, or by a cheque marked by the
    banker on whom it is drawn as good for thirty days, and must be
    “crossed” in favour of the Receiver-General’s Deposit Account.

58. The cheques shall be retained in the custody of the Receiver
    until the tenders are pronounced upon, when those of unaccepted
    tenderers shall be returned to them, and the cheque lodged with
    the accepted tender shall be immediately paid to the bank for
    credit of the Receiver-General’s Deposit Account at Wellington, and
    the Receiver shall post to the Receiver-General a memorandum of
    particulars, together with the bank receipt. If there is no branch
    of the bank in the town in which the tenders are received the cheque
    shall be sent by registered letter to the Receiver-General, together with
    a memorandum of particulars.

59. Deposits in the custody of the Receiver-General, when return-
    able to depositors, shall be refunded on the certificate of the head of
    the Department. In all cases of refund a receipt for the same shall
    be given by the depositor.

60. In all cases the deposits received shall be brought on charge
    in the Deposit Cash-book of the Receiver, who shall take credit for
    the amounts refunded to depositors, or paid to the Receiver-General’s
    Deposit Account or to the Public Account.

61. Whenever any deposit becomes forfeited the amount, if in
    the custody of the Receiver, shall be paid to the Public Account,
    a bank receipt for the payment and a memorandum of particulars
    being transmitted to the Receiver-General. If any such deposit is
    in the custody of the Receiver-General, a notification of the forfeiture
    shall be forwarded to his office, in order that the amount may be
    transferred to the Public Account.

62. The Deposit Cash-book shall be made up on the last day of
    each accounting period, or at such longer intervals, not exceeding one
    calendar month, as the Receiver-General may direct, and a copy or
    abstract on the form provided for the purpose shall be posted to the
    Receiver-General, supported by the bank receipts and the receipts
    of the depositors for all sums refunded. If no deposit is received or
    refunded during any accounting period, a “Nil” return shall be
    forwarded.
