4. Every adult emigrant will be required,
   before embarkation, to pay to the Agent-General 20s. (and children in proportion), for
   bedding, blankets, and mess utensils.

5. In the event of any emigrant applied
   for declining to emigrate, whatever money or
   bills may have been deposited with the Government will be returned to the applicant so
   soon as the Agent-General shall have apprised
   the Government thereof; but in the event of
   any emigrant applied for accepting the offer
   of a passage in a particular ship, and then,
   by failing to present himself for embarkation
   at the time and port appointed by the Agent-General for the sailing of such ship, be left
   behind, the passage money will be forfeited.

6. The Immigration Officer at the capital
   town in each Province or County (and he
   only) will receive applications as under —

(1.) From persons who may wish to
give bills for the passage money of
their relatives or friends, instead of
paying cash, as provided for in clause

1. The amount of the bills to be
   taken will be 50 per cent. over the
   amount above fixed to be paid in cash,
   and the bills will become due 30 days
   after the arrival of the immigrants
   sent for, and may be paid by instalments, the terms and periods of which
   must be arranged with the Immigration Officer.

(2.) From persons whose friends are
over 50 years of age.

(3.) From persons whose friends are
widows with children.

7. The above rates being only for the
   passage from the port of embarkation to the
   Colony, the cost of conveyance to such port,
   and to the residences of their friends after
   arrival in the Colony, must be defrayed by
   the emigrants themselves.

8. All the ships employed in this service
   will be under the provisions of the Passenger
   Act.

9. It is to be distinctly understood that,
   notwithstanding applications may have been
   granted at Money Order Post Offices, the
   Immigration Officers aforesaid are empowered
   to object to any of the emigrants so nominated
   being sent out, either from unsuitability of
   occupation or from any other cause; and the
   Agent-General in London will have power to
   refuse passages where the intending emigrants
   are in ill-health, or in any way unfitted,
   according to his judgment, to undertake the
   voyage.
