IV. Settlements for supplies procured by foraging parties will, when practicable, be made by the division quartermaster, the quartermaster procuring the supplies accounting to him therefor.

V. When trains or detachments are separated from the division to which they belong, they must in all cases be in charge of, or accompanied by, a quartermaster specially authorized by the general commanding to give certificates in proper form for forage and other supplies procured. Permits for foraging parties will in this case be issued by the commanding officer of the detachment or escort, and settlement for forage procured be made by the quartermaster in charge.

VI. All supplies procured by foraging parties, whether settlement therefor has been made with the owner or not, will be taken up and accounted for on the monthly and quarterly returns in the same manner as other Government property.

VII. When the owner of property, taken for the use of the army by proper authority, is known to be disloyal, or when there is a reasonable doubt as to his loyalty, the following note will be made on the face of the certificate given therefor: " To be settled hereafter in such manner as the Government may direct." When the party of whom supplies are procured is known to be a loyal citizen, payment will be made, or a certificate given in the proper from, without making the above note.

VIII. Officers signing, as well as those using, foraging permits will be held strictly accountable for the enforcements of these regulations.

Any officer who, through neglect, inattention, or inefficiency, permits pillaging, or the entering of private residences by the persons belonging to the foraging parties under his command, or who, having sent out a foraging party, and hearing of the commission of such acts, does not promptly bring the offender to punishment, will, on satisfactory proof thereof, be mustered out of service in disgrace, under General Orders, No. 4, from these headquarters.
