NRS-10882 | Register of orders for stores to fulfil requisitions

The Ordnance Storekeeper's Department handled all requisitions for stores (other than food provisions) for the services of the Convicts and Military in the colony. Requisitions first required the approval of the Governor or Colonial Secretary, and upon receipt by the Ordnance Storekeeper, orders were made out for stores required to fulfil the requisitions, and these orders forwarded to appropriate sources of supply. This series is a register of such orders. The series shows: registered number of order, date when order was made out, name of department or organisation to which order was forwarded, the number of the requisition for which the articles were required, the department or establishment for which the stores were required, list of articles ordered and quantities, date when articles were received, date when voucher "passed", and remarks. Requisitions relating to these orders are contained in the series NRS 10881Register of requisitions fulfilled, 1840-44 (4/420).(4/4554). 1 vol.
