sub-accountant to have at his disposal, for disburse- 
ment on the public service, money for which vouchers 
cannot be presented direct to the Treasurer or a sub- 
accountant for payment, he will receive an imprest 
of such amount as the Governor may sanction.

Imprest Warrant, and the Treasurer will be held re- 
sponsible that no imprest is made without such 
warrant, and also for seeing that all imprests are duly 
accounted for in accordance with the terms of the 
warrant covering them. The Governor may give a 
general Imprest Warrant to the Treasurer authorising 
him to make imprests, as may be necessary, for any 
regularly recurrent service. 
302. Tmprests are not to be charged in the accounts 
as final expenditure, the actual payments only, out 
of such imprests, being so charged. Cash payments 
made by the Treasurer or his sub-accountants by way 
of imprest will be entered in the cash book and totalled 
with the rest of the payments in balancing it. Im- 
prests will not be treated by the Treasurer as 
“ Advances ”’ or ‘‘ Remittances’ but will be 
accounted for, below the line, under a separate head 
*“ Imprests.”” The imprests and the amounts of the 
authorised payments accounted for will be posted t0 
a personal imprest account of the officer concerned.
