monthly ordinary expenditure; but if recourse shall be had to the Banking establishments for the transaction of current business, as well as for the deposit of surplus moneys, the balance to be left in the hands of the Treasurer will be of small amount, to meet only minor incidental
expenses.
296. When it is necessary to fix or alter the amount of the maximum balance which may remain in the hands of the Treasurer, the Governor will, after the necessary inquiries, report to the Secretary of State, for the con- sideration of the Lords of the Treasury, the sum which he may decide upon for such maximum balance, accompanying this report by statements of the Treasurer's average monthly ordinary receipts and disbursements (distinguishing fixed revenue from incidental receipts, and pay and salaries from contingent disbursements), and by such other explanations and observations as may have been submitted to him, and upon which he may have grounded his decision.
297. In order that the Governor may at all times have the means of informing himself as to the state and disposal of the public balance, and
of providing effectually for its verification, he will cause the Regulations which he has received from the Lords of the Treasury in this respect to be strictly observed by all concerned.
298. If the Governor shall have availed him- self of the services of a Banking Establishment in the Colony, he will require from the Secretary,
or other proper officer of such Establishment, a monthly statement of all sums deposited in and
withdrawn from the Bank, and of the balance of public money remaining in the Bank at the end of each month.
299. The Governor will take care that arrange- ments are made with the Directors or Managers
of these Establishments, so that the Colonial Treasurer, Receiver-General, or other Account- ant, shall not have sole control over the sums deposited therein.
300. To effect this object the cheques on the Bark for the payment of ordinary disbursements should invariably be countersigned by the Officer next in rank at the Treasurer's or Accountant's office.

301. In those cases where the Banks may be had recourse to only for the deposit of surplus moneys, the cheques should be countersigned by
the Governor, as his warrant of authority to the Bank for the re-issue of the money.
302 When the Banks are used for deposits, and also for the transaction of the current busi- ness of the Government, it is necessary that the Governor should fix the maximum sum for which the Treasurer's draft, countersigned by his principal Assistant, may be honoured, and beyond which sum the Governor's warrant of authority, as above described, is to be required in addition.
303. If the surplus funds, or any portion thereof shall be deposited in a strong vault, the Governor is to require from the three Officers in charge a quarterly return of the moneys deposited therein.
304. The strong vault is on no occasion to be opened, nor is any money to be deposited therein or withdrawn therefrom, except by the three persons entrusted with the keeping of the separate keys, and by an order or warrant under the Governor's signature (such orders or warrants to be for round sums) addressed to the Treasurer or Accountant, and to the two other Officers concerned; and the three Officers entrusted with the keys, and present at the opening of the vault, are to sign a joint certificate as to every sum deposited, which certificate is to be delivered to the Treasurer, to be annexed with other vouchers to his accounts.
305. The Treasurer is, in like manner, to sign receipts in duplicate for every amount re-issued
to him, which receipts are to be delivered to the other Officers in charge of the vault.
306. In case of illness, absence, or other unavoidable circumstance interfering with the strictly personal duty prescribed by these regu- lations, the written authority of the Governor is to be obtained for any temporary transfer of the key to another Officer.
307. The Governor will cause to be prepared on the 1st days of January, April, July, and October of each year, a statement of the sums of
