By his Honour John Logan Campbell, Esq., Superintendent of the Province of Auckland.

WHEREAS by the Impounding Act, 1856, of the Local Legislature of the Province of Auckland, it is amongst other things enacted that it shall not be lawful for any person to suffer any cattle belonging to him, or under his charge to stray, or go about, or to be tethered, or depastured in any highway, or public place, or on unenclosed land, within the limits of such of the towns or villages in the said Province, as the Superintendent thereof shall from time to time, by notification in the Auckland “Provincial Government Gazette,” declare to be and to come within the operation of the provisions of such Act, in respect of cattle so straying, going about, being tethered, or depastured in such highway or public place or unenclosed land; and also, that the said Superintendent may, from time to time, define and alter and vary, for the purposes of such Act, the limits of such towns and villages. Now, therefore, I, the Superintendent of the said Province, do hereby, under and in pursuance of the power vested in me in that behalf, by the said Act, notify and declare that the town of Auckland, in the said Province, shall from the sixteenth day of the month of May, One thousand eight hundred and fifty-six, come within the operation of the provisions of the said Act, in respect of such matters as aforesaid, and that the limits thereof, for the purposes of such Act, shall be the following, until altered or varied, as and in manner aforesaid: that is to say—All that part of the said town, or of the said town and its suburbs (as the case may be) situate and lying between and being bounded by the Waitemata from the western side of the northern terminus of Union-street in Freeman’s Bay, to the place in Mechanics’ Bay where the Mechanics’ Bay Creek joins the said Waitemata, and by the western side of such creek from its junction aforesaid to the southern side of the Strand, and by the southern side of the Strand with Symonds-street aforesaid from the Creek aforesaid to the junction of the said Strand with Symonds-street, and by the eastern side of Symonds-street aforesaid from the junction last mentioned, to the junction of Symonds-street aforesaid with the Karangahape-road, and by the southern side of the said road from the junction last mentioned, to the junction of the said road with Pitt-street, and by the western side of Pitt-street aforesaid with Wellington-street, and by the southern side of Wellington-street aforesaid to the junction of the said street with Union-street aforesaid, and by the western side of Union-street aforesaid from its said junction with Wellington-street to the Waitemata aforesaid.

SIR,

I am directed by His Excellency the Governor to acknowledge the receipt of your Honor’s letter of the 3rd instant, transmitting an “Impounding Act” (Session 5, No. 4) passed by the Provincial Council, and assented to by your Honor.

With reference to the 31st, 32nd, and 33rd sections of that Act, His Excellency is advised that the 2nd sub-section of 19th clause of the Constitution Act, precludes the Provincial Council from altering the constitution, jurisdiction, or practice of any court of civil jurisdiction. Those clauses apparently contravene that section.

His Excellency does not, however, in this case feel called upon to exercise his power of disallowing this Act, which will accordingly, be left to its operation.

I have, &c.,
Andrew Sinclair,
Colonial Secretary.

His Honor
The Superintendent of Auckland.
