142. No passage in His Majesty's ships is to be given to Colonial Officers at the public expense except on the application of the Senior Officer of the Civil Department on the spot to the Senior Naval Officer present. The expense for the entertainment of passengers will not be paid by the public, unless the Secretary of State for the Colonies should consider that the passage was properly applied for, and that the expense should be so paid. Whenever a Governor has occasion to apply to the Senior Naval Officer for a passage in one of His Majesty's ships for him- self, or for any Functionary under his Govern- ment, he must immediately report the case to the Secretary of State, informing him at the same time of the circumstances under which the application was made.

143. The passage expenses of a Governor-in- Chief visiting his subordinate Governments will be defrayed from Imperial Funds; but not so his expenses while visiting different ports within his immediate Government.

144. If a Governor is proceeding on a Tour of Inspection or Duty within the limits of his Government, such passages must be limited to himself, his Secretary, and their personal atten- dants, and not include other Officers, or members of his family.

145. When a Governor or other Officer is pro- ceeding to another Colony to administer the Government temporarily, or returning therefrom, he will be allowed, from Imperial Funds, such expense as the Secretary of State may deem to have been reasonably incurred for the removal of himself and his family.

146. Subject to Article 149, the expense for the entertainment on board of His Majesty's ships of a Governor, Bishop, or any other Public Officer so entertained, must be paid to the Pay- master of the ship at the end of the voyage, and, if possible, before leaving the ship.

147. If such expense is to be charged on the Imperial or Colonial Treasury, it may be defrayed
