    bank of the balance at credit of his account, a statement in the form
    set forth in the Seventh Schedule hereto, the vouchers for the receipts
    and disbursements of the period, and a list of the unpresented cheques.
    If there have been no transactions during the period a “Nil” return
    shall be forwarded.

    of money which has been paid into a Law Trust Account shall be paid
    into the Receiver-General’s Deposit Account, and the Receiver shall,
    when so directed, pay the amount to the bank for credit of the
    Receiver-General’s Deposit Account at Wellington, and shall obtain
    from the bank a receipt in the form in the Fifth Schedule hereto,
