HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by Warrants under the hand of His Excellency the Governor, bearing date the twenty-first day of February, one thousand eight hundred and seventy, the Governor has, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, delegated to the Superintendents of the several Provinces in New Zealand certain powers under “The Diseased Cattle Act, 1861,” and “The Diseased Cattle Act Amendment Act, 1865,” subject to certain regulations to be made by the Governor in Council:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of New Zealand, doth hereby, in pursuance of the powers in that behalf vested in him by the Acts aforesaid, make and ordain the following Regulations:

1. The Superintendent of the Province (hereinafter referred to as “the Superintendent”) shall immediately after exercising any of the delegated powers notify the same to the Governor, and shall transmit to the Governor particulars of all appointments and copies of all regulations made by him.

2. The Superintendent shall, as soon as conveniently may be, notify all regulations made by him to the Colonial Secretary, or Chief Secretary of each of the Australian Colonies, and cause the same to be published in England in the Times newspaper.

3. In the exercise of powers delegated under the ninth section of “The Diseased Cattle Act, 1861,” the Superintendent may, either in the first instance or afterwards, from time to time, by Proclamation in the Government Gazette of the Province, except out of any district proclaimed as infected under the said Act, any port or place within the limits of such district, and every such excepted port and place shall be deemed not to be within the proclaimed district; and the Superintendent may also from time to time, by Proclamation aforesaid, rescind any proclamation of an infected district, wholly or as to any part thereof.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled “The Gold Fields Act, 1866,” it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, under his hand and the Public Seal of the Colony, from time to time to delegate to the Superintendent of any Province, or such other person as the Governor may deem fit, all or any of the powers vested in the Governor or the Governor in Council by the Act now in recital, except the powers conferred by sections twenty-two, forty, forty-eight, sixty, ninety-six, and one hundred and seven of the said Act, subject or not to any limitations or restrictions as he may think fit, and in like manner to alter or revoke any such powers: And whereas by “The Gold Fields Act Amendment Act, 1869,” certain alterations in the said first-recited Act were made, and certain additional powers were given to the Governor and to the Governor in Council, and it was by the said Act now in recital enacted that the said “Gold Fields Act Amendment Act, 1869,” should be read and construed in connection with and as part of the said “Gold Fields Act, 1866:”

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council thereof, and in exercise of the power and authority for this purpose in me vested, do hereby delegate unto Thomas Bannatyne Gillies, Esq., as Superintendent of the Province of Auckland, all the powers vested in the Governor and the Governor in Council under “The Gold Fields Act, 1866,” and “The Gold Fields Act Amendment Act, 1869,” except the powers conferred by sections twenty-two, forty, forty-eight, sixty, ninety-six, and one hundred and seven of “The Gold Fields Act, 1866;” to have, hold, and exercise, within the said Province the said powers hereby given to the said Superintendent, so long as he shall continue and remain Superintendent of the said Province and no longer: Provided always that copies of all rules and regulations made under the said delegation shall be forthwith transmitted to the Colonial Secretary, in order that the same may be laid before the General Assembly, in accordance with the provisions of the one hundred and tenth clause of “The Gold Fields Act, 1866.”

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand Cross of the most distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty’s Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same; and issued under the Seal of the said Colony, at Auckland, this twenty-first day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy.
