All persons desirious 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 casJi 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 periods of six months after landing. 2. Any persons residing in the province desirous of assisting their friends in England, or elsewhere, to obtain assisted passages to the Colony may do so by drawing a Bill to the order of the Provincial Treasurer, 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 re-transmit-ted by the Agent to the Colony, and must be paid immediately on presentation. 3. Assisted passages will be afforded only to bona fide labouring men, mechanics, and female domestic servants; but persons of all classes will be able to assist their friends to emigrate to the colony by undertaking the payment of the whole of the passage money in the manner above provided/ 4. No person will be allowed any assistance unless he shall have been approved of by the Emigration Agent in England, No single man above the age of 40 years, no person above the age of 50, unless a member of a large family, and no person above 60 years, under any circumstances, will be allowed assistance. 5. When 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 Bills.
