5. In Calcutta and its suburbs all stables were regularly inspected.
Glanders was detected in two and Surra in three stables. In the mufassal
27 deaths from glanders were reported as against 67 in the previous year.
6. Two new dispensaries were opened in the district of Bakarganj
during the year, bringing the total number of such institutions up to 27.
The number of patients treated during the year was 34,889 as against 37,785
in the previous year. The decrease is attributed to the fall in the number of
cases of foot-and-mouth disease. The Governor in Council notices with
satisfaction that arrangements are being made by certain District Boards to
construct veterinary dispensaries.
7. The number of stud bulls kept by Government and local bodies
decreased from 71 in the previous year to 68. The Governor in Council
notices with pleasure the gift by Babu Dukhaja Mohan Chaudhuri of a good
Montgomery bull to the veterinary dispensary in Rangpur district.
8. The work of the Deputy Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Depart-
ment, Inspectors and of the staff of the Bengal Veterinary College was
satisfactory. His Excellency in Council records his appreciation of the
services of Lt.-Col. Smith, whose duties are arduous owing to the shortage in
the leaching staff and the absence on military duty of officers of the depart-
ment.

1. General Rules. —The recognized mode of obtaining supplies for
military use is by indent, which should in every case be
prepared, even though circumstances prevent its delivery,
before the issue of the articles indented for.
2. DEFINITION OF INDENTS.—An indent is a statement, in a regulated
form, of the quantity and quality of the stores applied for, but is not in itself a
voucher of the quantity issued until receipted, when it will be acknowledged
as such on the examination of accounts ; the receipt, which, when possible,
will be endorsed on the indent, being alone held as a certificate of the issue of
the stores.
3. Certain indents can only be admitted as vouchers on audit when
finally passed and sanctioned by the head of the department, authorized by
Government to grant such sanction.
4. As a general rule, no explanatory letter should be required to accom-
pany the indent, the information necessary to enable the controlling authority
to judge of the propriety of the requisition should be fully stated in the indent
itself, under the proper columns.
5. ORDINARY INDENTS.—Ordinary indents are those immediately pro-
vided for by regulation, both as to period and quantity of issue, and the circurn-
stances under which the supplies are authorized. Ordinary indents being
duly signed and countersigned by regimental and local departmental authori-
ties, will, if framed in strict accordance with regulation, and duly supported
by vouchers, at once be complied with.
6. EXTRAORDINARY INDENTS.—Extraordinary indents are those for sup-
plies, whose nature and amount, or the occasion for which required, are not
duly provided for by regulation ; they will, in all possible cases, be prepared
in such time as to admit of their transmission to the head of the department
concerned for sanction, before the issue of the supply indented for. Indents

INDENTS AND VOUCHERS.
for articles extra to the established list of hospital sup-
plies, require the sanction of Government, and Deputy
Inspectors General are not to countersign such indents unless of opinion that
they are urgently required.
7. EMERGENT INDENTS.—When the delay consequent on the usual
reference for the sanction of the controlling authority would be prejudical
to the public service, Deputy Inspectors General are authorized to pass
such extraordinary indents " on emergency" on their own responsibility,
their own counter-signature affixed to the original, and
to all copies of the indent underneath the words " to be
supplied on emergency,” 'the station and date of such
counter-signature, together with the consecutive number of such indent being
also inserted. The original being then returned to the indenting officer for
transmission to the department of supply, the copies will be forwarded for

Responsibility. —Responsibility, on account of indents, is governed
by the following rules :—
(a.) INDENTING OFFICER.—An officer transmitting in the ordinary course
an indent for supply, is responsible to his immediate superior who countersigns
it, that it is correct in form, authorized by regulation, supported by the
requisite vouchers—that those vouchers are, to the best of his knowledge,
authentic, and that the numerical strength of the corps, or other facts stated
on the face of the document, by which the amount of supply is regulated,
is correct.
(b.) COUNTERSIGNING OFFICER.—The officer who endorses an indent with
his counter-signature, thereby verifies the signature of his subordinate, that
he holds the position therein represented, and generally that due care has
been taken in its preparation and examination before despatch ; he testifies
to the authenticity of the circumstances under which the demands are made,
and generally to the necessity of the supplies, also, that articles to be re-placed.
have been fairly used, and that any loss is duly accounted for.
(c.) DEPARTMENTAL EXAMINING OFFICER.—The examining officer is res-
ponsible to the head of his department and Government that he passes no
abstract or indent which is not correct in form, duly supported by vouchers,
and in accordance with regulation, both in detail, and as to the circumstances
under which it is stated to have been prepared. With reference to any issue
made on these documents, he is primarily accountable to Government for any
loss in respect of the amount of supply allowed, its calculation, or the regula-
tion under which it is drawn.
(d.) SUPPLYING OFFICER.—The officer issuing the supply is responsible
that the indent or abstract shall have been duly examined op passed by the
Cir. No. 2,135, of
17th May1866.

proper authority, and that the amount issued is the same as that sanctioned,
and for which a due receipt is granted, He is, moreover, responsible that
the proper nomenclature is given to the articles supplied, and that they are
delivered in good condition.
(e.) RECEIVING OFFICER.—An officer drawing a supply is responsible that
the state of the articles, as to quantity, agrees with the indent and receipt, and
that they are all in a perfectly serviceable condition.
(f.) In cases of extraordinary indents " on emergency," responsibility
is removed from the examining to the sanctioning authority, with whom alone
it will rest, but where practicable, it is the duty of the former to point out to
his superior any deviation from regulation he may observe, and the sanction-
ing officer will, if he sees fit, over-rule his objections, and will use his discre-
tion according to the exigency of the case in ordering an issue not provided
for by regulation or on an indent, the due examination and passing of which
the circumstances of the case may have prevented. On such occasions the
immediate transmission to the controlling authority of the duplicate, &c., of
the indents so sanctioned, accompanied, when necessary, by a letter of expla-
nation, will be held as the report of the issue.
9. PREPARATION OF INDENTS.—Officers preparing indents will adhere
strictly in every particular to the prescribed forms, they will be careful to
state as fully as possible in the indent, under the proper columns according
to the nature of the demand, the cause of deficiency or nature of injury, the
purpose for which required, the date and nature of the order under which the
stores are drawn, and generally, any information required to show the pro-
priety of the demand, furnishing when necessary the prescribed certificates.
In special cases, where the requisite information cannot be satisfactorily stated
on the face of an indent, an explanatory letter to the head of the department
concerned must accompany it.
10. Indents will be prepared in original, duplicate, triplicate, or quad-
ruplicate, as may be specially provided for by the departments concerned,
according to the circumstances of the case, and the nature of the supplies
required. The several copies of all indents are disposed of as follows : the
original is delivered to the supplying officer, and the remaining copies
forwarded for the sanction of the controlling authority.
11. INDENTS HOW RECEIPTED.—When an indent is fully complied with,
it will be receipted on the back thus : " Contents received as shown within "—
but indents shall, under no circumstances, be receipted in full until all the
stores indented for are delivered. In the case of indents for carriage, a certi-
cate specifying the date of supply, as well as the number and description of
carriage, will be recorded on the back of the indent by the receiving officer,
