For Regulations 281 and 282 substitute :— 
281.—(1) When the annual Estimates have been passed 
by the Legislature and approved by the Secretary of State, 
and the Appropriation Law allowed by His Majesty, the 
expenditure of the year must be held to be definitely 
limited and arranged. Should any further disbursements 
on account of the service of that year be required, which 
could not have been foreseen, cannot be postponed with- 
out detriment to the public Service, and cannot appropri- 
ately be charged to an existing sub-head of the Estimates 
or will cause any excess thereon, approval by the Legislature 
and the Secretary of State of the necessary additional pro- 
vision for such disbursements will be sought in the following 
manner : — 
(a) Where the provision for the supplementary ex- 
penditure is not in excess of an amount fixed by the 
Secretary of State in the case of the individual Colony, 
and the supplementary expenditure is not of such a 
nature as to raise some question of principle or involve 
a breach of some regulation or some previous ruling by 
the Secretary of State, the Governor may on his personal 
responsibility give his sanction to such supplementary 
expenditure being incurred, subject to the inclusion of 
the amount of such provision in a Schedule of additional 
provision for the quarter (or such shorter period as 
may be adopted in the case of the individual Colony) in 
which such sanction was given. 
(b) In all other cases, the Governor will, at the 
earliest possible opportunity and if practicable before 
any expenditure is incurred, submit an estimate of the 
supplementary expenditure separately to the Legislature 
and the Secretary of State and obtain their approval of 
it. ‘The amount of the provision so approved will he 
included in the next Schedule of the year. 
(¢) The Schedule for the quarter (or other shorter 
period) will thus include under Heads and Sub-heads all 
provision for expenditure in addition to that provided 
for in the Estimates or in previous Schedules for the 
year, which has during that period been approved by 
the Legislature and the Secretary of State or has been 
authorized bv the Governor in anticipation of the 
approval of the Legislature and the Secretary of State. 
Tt will be despatched to the Secretary of State not 
later than one month after the close of the period to 
which it relates, but in any case before the end of the 
financial vear. In the event of the Legislature not 
having dealt with it when it is despatched to the Secre- 
tary of State, the resolution of the Legislature upon 
it will be reported to the Secretary of State subsequently 
ag soon as possible. 
(2) If after the close of the financial year it is found 
that supplementary expenditure has occurred during that 
year which has not been included in any Schedule, and 
the Governor considers that such expenditure should be 
admitted as a charge to public funds, he will as soon as 
submit a statement of such expenditure to the 
Legislature and the Secretary of State for their approval 
of its being so charged. 
282. If the supplementary expenditure causes an Excess 
on a Head, such Excess should ultimately be covered by = 
Supplementary Appropriation Law.
