Destruction 175. Similarly, in January of each year the record-keeper will, under the Collector's
of B papers. Sanction, destroy all B papers which have completed their twelfth year. To get out these

papers it will be necessary to open the bundles containing them; but Registers 41 and

41A will at once show in what bundles B papers are to be found which have completed
their twelfth year so that no bundles need be unnecessarily taken down and opened.

Destruction 176. It will be understood that no C paper must be destroyed until two complete calendar
to be annual. years have elapsed since the decision of the cases. Records are to be destroyed once a

year only, in January. The destruction made in -January of any year will comprise no

cases which were decided later than the 31st December of the third preceding year. The
same principle is to be applied in calculating the twelve years for the destruction of B

papers.
