PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.

Superintendent’s Office,
Auckland, 19th May, 1869.

IT is hereby notified for general information that in commemoration of the Birthday of Her most Gracious Majesty the Queen, Monday next, the 24th instant, and the two following days, will be observed at the Provincial Government Offices as Public Holidays: and I hereby invite the Inhabitants of Auckland to join in keeping holiday on those days.

As it is proposed that a General Illumination in the City of Auckland shall take place on the evening of the Queen’s Birthday, and, with a view to prevent the occurrence of any accident upon that occasion through the discharge of Fireworks, the attention of the Public is directed to the twenty-sixth sub-section of section five of “The Auckland Municipal Police Act, 1866,” whereby any person “discharging any fire-arms, or setting off any fireworks or explosive material on any street, highway, or public place, or so near thereto as to endanger or annoy the passers-by,” shall be liable to a penalty as set forth in the said Act.
