PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS by an Act passed in the 15th and 16th years of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, entitled "An Act for granting a Representative Constitution to the Colony of New Zealand," it was enacted that no bill passed by a Superintendent and Provincial Council which shall be reserved for the signification of the assent of the Governor shall have any force and authority within the Province until the Superintendent shall signify either by speech or message to the Provincial Council or by proclamation in the Government Gazette, that such Bill has been laid before the Governor, and that the Governor has assented to the same. And whereas an Ordinance was passed by the Superintendent and Provincial Council of the Province of Canterbury, entitled the "Provincial Council Extension Ordinance, Session III, No. 1," and the same was reserved by me for the assent of his Excellency the Governor: Now therefore, I, James Edward Fitz Gerald, Superintendent of the Province of Canterbury, proclaim and declare, that the aforesaid Ordinance has been laid before his Excellency the Governor, and that his Excellency has assented to the same. And whereas by the said Ordinance it is enacted, that the said Ordinance shall come into operation upon and after a day to be notified by the Superintendent in the Government Gazette, being not more than 10 days after he shall have received the signification of the assent of the Governor thereto: Now therefore I further proclaim and declare, that the said recited Ordinance shall come into operation upon and after the fifteenth day of the present month and year.
Given under my hand at Christchurch, this eighth day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty five.
JAMES EDWARD FITZ GERALD.
