• The Salary will commence at £52 with an increase, contingent upon good conduct, of £1 per annum, until it reaches the sum of £62.
  
  
• If the person selected has been serving in a like capacity in the Prisons in this Country, and has already become entitled by length of service to higher Salary than £52, he will continue to receive the same, and the future yearly additions to his salary until it reaches its highest amount will date from the same periods as if he had remained in the Home Service.
  
  
• He will be allowed a free passage to the Colony for himself, and also for his wife and family, if he have any, and they will severally be supplied with rations on board.
  
  
• His full Salary will commence from the date of his appointment, and he will be allowed rations for himself, after his arrival in Western Australia, but not for his wife or family.
  
  
• He will receive from Mr. Barnard, the Colonial Agent General, whose office, is at No. 5, Cannon Row, Westminster, and to whom he will make application for that purpose personally, or in writing, an advance of four months salary, to enable him to provide himself with the necessary outfit, on his signing an agreement to guard the public against loss in the event of his relinquishing his appointment or failing to proceed to his destination.
  
  
• No allowance for rations can be granted from the period of his receiving his appointment to the date of his embarking for his destination.
  
  
• In addition to the foregoing salary, Assistant Warders are for the present allowed in Western Australia, an extra salary at the following rates -
  
  
  Officers whose pay is under £60 per year &&.£9..2..6
  
  Officers whose pay is £60 and upwards &&&£12..3..4
  
  But this extra salary is only granted in consideration of high prices which have prevailed in the Colony, it is merely considered as an indulgence, and is not intended to be permanent; and is only payable to Officers, after they actually arrive in the Colony, and will not form part, therefore, of the advance of salary made in this country.
  
  
• The baggage allowed on the passage out, does not exceed half a ton, or 20 cubic feet in size, for each grown person. No furniture to be taken on board.
  
  
• If the passage be granted on a convict ship, as is usually the case, the Assistant Warder is expected to make himself useful during the voyage, in the management of the convicts, and is in all respects to consider himself under the orders of the Surgeon Superintendent.
