PROCLAMATION.
By His Honour WILLIAM BROWN,
Esq., Superintendent of the
Province of Auckland, in the
Colony of New Zealand.
WHEREAS by an Act of the Imperial Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, passed in the Session thereof holden in the fifteenth and sixteenth years of the Reign of Her present Majesty Queen Victoria, intituled “An Act to grant a Representative Constitution to the Colony of New Zealand,” it was amongst other things enacted that for each of the Provinces established in the said Colony by the said Act, there should be a Superintendent and a Provincial Council to be elected and constituted under and subject to the provisions in that behalf therein contained, and that it should be lawful for the Superintendent of any of the said Provinces to prorogue the Provincial Council thereof, from time to time, whenever he should deem it expedient so to do.
Now therefore, I, the Superintendent of the Province of Auckland (one of the Provinces aforesaid), do proclaim and declare that I do hereby in pursuance of the power vested in me in that behalf by the said Act, prorogue the Provincial Council of the said Province of Auckland and that the said Provincial Council is prorogued accordingly.
Given under my hand at Auckland
in the Province aforesaid, this
thirtieth day of April in the
year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and fifty-five.
Wm. Brown,
Superintendent.
Superintendent’s Office, Auckland,
1st May, 1855.
THE following Message to the Provincial Council is published for general information.
Wm. Brown,
Superintendent.
MESSAGE No. 29.
THE Superintendent of the Province of Auckland has been informed through an Address presented by the Speaker on the 13th inst., that the Provincial Council have passed a Resolution affirmatory of a purpose, so soon as the supplies shall have been voted and certain other business disposed of, to adjourn till the 1st of June next. The Superintendent must observe that long adjournments, in his opinion, are objectionable, as avoiding a provision of the Constitution Act, and superseding the free exercise of one of the most important of the functions which devolve upon the Superintendent.
If the practice of long adjournments were maintainable, the Provincial Council might adjourn from year to year, and altogether avoid being prorogued. The Superintendent respectfully intimates his intention of attending at the Council Chamber for the purpose of proroguing the Provincial Council so soon as their convenience and the state of the public business will allow.
Wm. Brown,
Superintendent.
