whether the payment of charges is proper, with reference to the terms of the Agreements Entered into by these Officers and to the usual practice

in such
Cases
2. I annex
a
blank
form of the Agreement required for all public officers for whom passages
are
at public cost, and have to
state that no
special terms
were inserted at this Office
in those
of
the officers whose names
are
noted in the margin,
C. L. Davie
C. Tookey
F.M. Allen
and that the only deviation J. A. Man
from Established custom was
that
in the case
of
W. Kinder whose Agreement
was
dispensed with
deference to the instructions
contained in
2
your
Agents letter 230 June 1865. 5734/65
3. So far
as
these
Officers
are
concerned it appears
quite clear that claims founded
on
special Agreements
are
invalid, while
the usual practice in similar cases is that each officer has to defray from his own resources
all expenses
of
Embarkation, such as Cab and Railway fares,
as
well
as
transport
