III. Revenue.
22.-The gross amount of all Revenue collected is in every case, to be included in the Receiver-General's accounts, without any deduction for charges on account of the collection thereof, which charges are to be shown in the accounts of Expenditure.
23. The Governor will issue such directions as may be necessary to all Officers who collect Revenue, as well as to all other parties whose duty it may be to account for any other receipts, respecting the disposal of all public monies coming into their hands.
24.-Where there is a Bank having a Government account, all monies payable to the Government exceeding a fixed minimum sum, shall when practicable be paid direct into such Bank. When this system cannot be adopted, every Receiver of public monies shall be directed to pay his Receipts into the Bank, or if there be no such Bank, into the Treasury, either daily or at such periods as may be deemed necessary by the Governor, having regard to the amount of collections of each Department.
25.-Officers who collect Revenue, but who are not Sub-Accountants for Expenditure keeping Cash Books, are to transmit monthly to the Auditor a statement showing the total amount collected under each Head of Receipt within the month, and the dates of payment to the Treasurer or Bank, supported by the receipts of the latter for the sums paid over to him.
26.-Savings Bank Deposits, Deposits made by order of Courts of Law, Fine Funds, and other monies which are received by Government, though not forming part of the Revenue, are to be paid into a Bank approved by the Governor, or into the Treasury in the same manner as ordinary Revenue. They are to be kept distinct from Revenue in the Government accounts, and are only to be withdrawn upon the Warrant of the Governor, to be granted on the requisition of the proper Officer. An abstract statement of all such accounts under the Head of "Deposits not available" is to be annexed to the annual accounts of the Treasurer.
27.-The Governor will give the necessary orders to provide that monies paid to any Officer of a Court of Law in his capacity of Official Administrator, Official Assignee, or Official Trustee in virtue of any Law or Order of Court; and monies paid into Court by Suitors, or by Order of the Court, should be at once paid in to a Bank approved by Government or to the Treasury, to an account to be kept separate from the Government accounts. Such orders should also provide that such monies shall be withdrawn from the Bank or the Treasury for Refund, Investment, or any other purpose, only upon the signatures of two Officers of Government; and generally that the sole control of such monies, either before or after investment, should as far as possible not be vested in one Official. The accounts of such monies although not belonging to Government should be audited, and for this purpose a monthly abstract of the balances of all accounts of such monies should be furnished to the Audit.
IV. Expenditure.
28.-All disbursements of public money are to be made by the Treasurer, and as far as practicable by cheques drawn upon the Bank in which the Government account is kept.
29.-All Salaries and other authorized charges up to the end of each financial year should as far as possible be defrayed within the year. When the last day of a year happens to be a dies non the payment of Salaries, &c., up to the close of the year can be made on the previous day.
30.-In respect to all expenditure included under the Head of Establishments, viz:-Salaries, Allowances, and Office contingencies, a general authority will be transmitted by the Colonial Secretary to each Head of Department conveying the Governor's authority for paying monthly in the ensuing year the sums borne in such Estimates.
