Regulations as to payment of bounty.

14. In order to obtain payment of the bounty, there shall be produced to the
Treasury the following evidence, or such other evidence as the Treasury may
deem sufficient; namely,

(a)A copy, duly certified, of the decree of condemnation of the vessel or
slave:

(b)If any tonnage bounty is claimed, a certificate from some person authorised
for the time being to act as a registrar of British ships of the dimensions
and tonnage of the vessel:

(c)If a slave bounty is claimed, a certificate from the person appointed to
receive the slaves of the number of slaves condemned and delivered over.

For the purpose of bounty the tonnage of a vessel shall be calculated and
ascertained in the like manner in which, for the time being, the tonnage of a
vessel is calculated and ascertained for the purpose of registering the same
as a British vessel, or, if the same cannot be satisfactorily ascertained in
that manner, shall be ascertained in such manner as the Treasury may consider
satisfactory.
