EXPLANATORY NOTES, &c. P. viii., Сн. hi.
It appears, therefore, that Sections 19 and 20 can be applied only
in cases where Consular Officers receive property on deposit to be kept
in the Consular Office or in a special room.
If the estate left by deceased is in the hands of his heirs, or if such
estate remains at the place where it was kept during the lifetime of
deceased, the Consular Officer can do no more than draw up a protocol
in accordance with Section 15 of the Consular Tariff. Sections 19
and 20 of the Tariff are not applicable in this case, and no percentage
on the value of the property which is left is required.
Para. 37.—In special cases when it is found necessary, Consular
Officers may deposit sums of money which have been left in their
custody with banks which offer the best guarantee of solidity according
to local conditions. In each case the First Department of the Russian

delay. The fee due to the banks for taking charge of the money on
deposit must be deducted from the fee chargeable and due to the
Russian State Exchequer on the strength of Section 20 of the Tariff.

mentioned of the name of the bank where the deposit was made and
the amount of fees paid in respect thereof.
