VPRS 5159 Salaries Cash Book

Full description

This series consists of cash books, which record the payment of salaries to clerks and other employees of the Legislative Council. The particulars of payments made are recorded on the right hand page: Date, Particulars (usually names of those receiving payment), Number of cheque, and Amount.

On the left hand page the reimbursement of the amounts paid out in salaries is recorded. The entries are on the left hand page separate salary payments made from the Appropriation Acts (Schedule D, Part IV recorded the amount required to pay clerks and expenses of the Legislative Council) and payments made out of General Revenue.

This series was previously registered with the title Regulation Cash Book.

In 1999, two additional units of the Salaries Cash Book were found to have been incorrectly registered as separate series in PROV holdings. They have been reserialised as the P1 consignment. VPRS 5159/P1 Unit 1 was previously registered as VPRS 5153 Collectors Cash Book, and Unit 2 was previously registered as VPRS 5147 Cash Book.
