Pay of masters and crews of War Department ve.ssels will be claimed on a ^Day list (A.F. O 1773). 325. Other civilian subordinates will be paid on the check book (Army Book 198 or 63, or special form), except where their number is very small, in which case a pay list (A.F. 0 1603) may be used instead. This point will be decided by the general officer in charge of administration on the submission of the command paymaster. 326. When payments are made on the check book, the latter will be brought to the pay table, and, except in the case of Pimlico, Wool- wich Arsenal and Dockyard, Enfield, and Waltham, the payments will be certified on the check book by two witnesses as follows :— We certify that the amount shoion against the name of each of the dhove-mentioned persons for the xoeek ended has been duly paid in our presence to the man himself or to the person authorised by him in writing to receive it, with the exception of the sum of ' on account of wages unclaimed.''^ 327.

As soon as payment has been made, the wages certificate will be signed by the paying officer and witnesses. Wages certificates will be forwarded to the paymaster concerned at the end of each month, or as may be arranged, in sup])ort of the charges in the accounts.

Wages remaining unclaimed are not chargeable against the public, but will be shown in the space provided for the purpose on the wages certificate (or pay list). When subsequently paid, the charge against the public will be supported by a reference to the voucher in which the wages are shown as unclaimed. 330.

The check books will be retiiined by these officers, but must be produced for examination by the pay- master and for audit when required.
