ALL persons desirous of obtaining assisted passages to the Province of Canterbury, in vessels under contract with the Provincial Government, may receive assistance as follows:— 1. The Government will afford assistance equal in amount to the sum paid in cash by the passenger. If there shall be any balance, the Government will advance the sum, taking from the passenger promissory notes for the amount advanced, payable to the Treasurer of the Province. Such notes will be made payable on demand, but unless the passenger dispute the debt, or shall attempt to leave the Province, payment will only be required in sums of five pounds at a time, at periods of three months, until the whole debt is discharged. The first payment to be made six months after landing. 2. Any person resident in the Province desirous of assisting their friends in England or elsewhere to obtain assisted passages to the colony may do so by paying half the amount of passage money to the Provincial Treasurer, or by drawing a bill to the order of the Provincial Treasurer to the extent of two-thirds of the passage money, accepted by a substantial householder also resident in the Province, to be approved of by the Superintendent as sufficient security for the same; this bill may then be transmitted to the person who is desirous of emigrating to the colony, and being by him presented to the Emigration Agent, will be received in lieu of cash payment, as hereinafter provided; the bill will be retransmitted by the Agent to the colony, and must be paid immediately on presentation. 3.

Whea bills are tendered in payment as cash in England, the amount of assistance given by the Government will be one-half of the amount of such | bills. Persons therefore wishing to give their friends I in England the utmost amount of assistance must give bills for two-thirds of the whole amount of the passage money. 6. Exceptions to the above rule will be made in favour of bona fide female domestic servants, the assistance given by the Government where payment is tendered in bills, being one-half the amount of passage money, and where cash is tendered two-thirds. 7.
