PROCLAMATION.

By His Excellency Colonel Thomas Gore Browne, Companion of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty’s Colony of New Zealand, and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same, &c., &c., &c.

WHEREAS by an Ordinance enacted by the Governor of New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council, Session 3, No. 1, intituled "An Ordinance for establishing a Supreme Court," it is provided that there shall be holden Circuit Courts for the despatch of Civil and Criminal business of the Court before one of the Judges thereof at such places and at such times as the Governor shall, with the advice of the Executive Council, by proclamation from time to time appoint.

And whereas by a Proclamation made under the hand of the Governor and issued under the Public Seal of the Colony, on the third day of November, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, the Governor, with the advice aforesaid, did proclaim and appoint (amongst other things) that Circuit Courts should be holden for the Southern District at the Town of Lyttelton, on the first day of March, the first day of June, the first day of September, and the first day of December in every year, or as soon after the said days respectively as conveniently might be. And whereas it is expedient that such Courts should be holden for the said District at the Town of Christchurch instead of at the Town of Lyttelton.

Now, therefore, I, the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, do hereby revoke the said Proclamation and Appointment so far as the same is hereinbefore recited, and do hereby proclaim and appoint that Circuit Courts shall be holden for the said Southern District at the Town of Christchurch, on the first day of March, the first day of June, the first day of September, and the first day of December in every year, or as soon after the said days as conveniently may be. And in case any one of the said days so fixed should happen to be a Sunday or Holiday, then the Court appointed for such day shall be holden on the day following.

Given under my hand, and issued under the Public Seal of the Colony of New Zealand, at Auckland, this twenty-first day of July, in the year of Our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine.

THOMAS GORE BROWNE.
By His Excellency’s command,
HENRY JOHN TANCRED.
