PROCLAMATION.
By His Honour WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., Superintendent of the Province of Auckland.
WHEREAS by an Act made and passed in the Parliament holden in the fifteenth and sixteenth years of the Reign of Her present Majesty, intituled “An Act to Grant a Representative Constitution to the Colony of New Zealand,” it is amongst other things enacted, that it shall be lawful for the Superintendent by proclamation in the Government Gazette, to fix such place or places within the limits of the Province and such times for holding the first and every other Session of the Provincial Council as he may think fit.
Now therefore, pursuant to the authority in me vested in that behalf, I, the Superintendent of the Province of Auckland, do hereby proclaim and declare that the fourth Session of the Provincial Council shall be holden at Auckland, and shall commence on WEDNESDAY, the 15th day of August now next ensuing; and the members of the said Council are hereby warned to give their attendance at the said time and place accordingly.
Given under my hand at Auckland, this fourteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-five.
Wm. BROWN,
Superintendent.
CIRCULAR.
Superintendent’s Office, Auckland,
14th July, 1855.
SIR,—I have the honour to inform you, that a Proclamation has been signed this day, and will be immediately issued, calling the Provincial Council together on the fifteenth day of August next.
You are aware that I had applied for a Provincial dissolution, in order that the differences of opinion which have existed between myself and the majority of the Council might be submitted to the decision of the country.
The constituency of the Province would thus, should my own views be deemed erroneous, have been enabled to place another person at the head of the Executive; or would have been enabled to support me, should my views be approved.
His Excellency the Officer administering the Government has not been pleased to comply with my request.
But His Excellency has signified an opinion that another Session of the present Council should take place, and has also made the calling of the Council, for the purpose of further appropriating the Provincial Revenue, a condition upon which he will “favourably entertain any suitable proposition for relieving the Provincial Government, Executive and Legislative, from any difficulty in which they may find themselves involved.”
