amount due for premium from the amount payable under the Crown's under- taking. Where, however, an order of condemnation is afterwards made the undertaking will presumably not be enforced on adjudication, and in this case, when the order is made, Form H. should be completed by stating that a simple order of condemnation has been made, and on receipt of the Form arrangements will be made in the United Kingdom for the payment of the premium. Where the final order is one for detention the question of enforcing the under- taking will presumably not be raised until the end of the War, and the Court should then be asked to allow deduction from any moneys paid to the enemy

owner of any amount due for premium.

4. Arrangements will also be made in the United Kingdom for payment of premium in cases where on condemnation goods are ordered to be delivered to the Crown under Order XXVII. Rule 1 (1) of the Prize Court Rules as amended by the Order in Council of the 3rd February, 1915. Form H. makes provision for this case, and one of these Forms should be completed and

forwarded in due course.

5. Where goods are ordered to be detained and are not sold the premium will not be paid till the end of the War, when the Court should be asked to make payment of premium a condition of release. It is, however, assumed that such goods will where possible be sold, and where sale takes place after the order for detention has been made the Court should be asked to provide for payment of premium in accordance with the procedure suggested in paragraph 2 above.

6. Where goods which have been ordered to be detained are afterwards requisitioned, payment of premium should be secured on requisition in accord- ance with the directions in paragraph 2 above or deferred to the end of the War in accordance with the last sentence of paragraph 3 according as the Crown makes a payment into Court or gives an undertaking.
