We, your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the House of Representatives of New Zealand, in Parliament assembled, have resolved to grant unto Your Majesty, towards making good the Supply which we have cheerfully granted to Your Majesty in this session of Parliament, the sums hereinafter mentioned, and do therefore most humbly beseech Your Majesty that it may be enacted, and

4 Issue to temporary general account. Proviso.

Whenever it is not possible to determine at the time of payment to which particular vote mentioned in the Fifth Schedule hereto the cost of any material or other expense should be charged, the Colonial Treasurer may notwithstanding issue and pay the same out of the several Ways and Means mentioned in the Fourth Schedule hereto: Provided that he shall from time to time carry each such payment to and charge the same against the vote on account of which such payment was made, so soon as the same can be ascertained: Provided also that all such expenditure shall be included in and shall not be in excess of the total sum hereby authorized to be issued and paid under each vote in the Fifth Schedule mentioned.

5 Power to alter votes Unauthorized expenditure.
