WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, Session IV., No. 16, entitled "The Superintendent Deputy Act, 1856," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Superintendent of any province, by proclamation to be published in the Government Gazette of such province, to appoint such person as he may think fit, being a registered elector of such province, to be his Deputy, and as such to perform and exercise all the acts and powers (except such powers as are conferred by the Constitution Act, 15 and 16 Victoria, c. 72) which may be exercised and performed by such Superintendent, or such of them only as shall be specified in such Proclamation, and that the acts of such Deputy Superintendent, so far as authorised by such proclamation, shall be as effectual in all respects as if performed by the Superintendent himself: provided always that such Deputy Superintendent shall act only during the absence of the Superintendent from the Province, and in case of vacancy by his death, resignation, or otherwise, during such absence, until his successor shall have been elected.
Now therefore I, William Sefton Moorhouse, the Superintendent of the Province of Canterbury, in pursuance of the powers vested in me by the said recited Act, do by this Proclamation appoint
CHARLES BOWEN, ESQ.,
being a registered elector of the said Province to be my Deputy, and as such to have all powers and authorities and perform all acts and deeds which may be lawfully had or performed by a Deputy Superintendent under or by virtue of the said recited Act for the period of One Hundred and Fifty Days from the date hereof, provided I be absent from the Province for such period, or until my successor shall have been sooner elected.
Given under my hand, and sealed with the public seal of the said Province, at Christchurch, this tenth day of June, One thousand eight hundred and fifty eight.
