A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the "Militia Act, 1858," it is enacted that on the occasions therein mentioned it shall be lawful for the Governor, or such person as he shall from time to time, by warrant under his hand, appoint as his deputy for that purpose, to direct the Officer commanding the Militia of any District, with all convenient speed, to draw out such Militia Force, and that such Militia shall continue on actual service so long as, in the opinion of the Governor, the danger shall render their services necessary.

And whereas, by a warrant under my hand bearing date the twenty-seventh day of August, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, I appointed Donald M’Lean, Esquire, my deputy for the purpose of directing the Officer commanding the Napier Militia District to draw out for actual service the men of the Militia Force in the said District, and the said Donald M’Lean subsequently caused the said men to be drawn out for actual service:

Now therefore I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the Governor of New Zealand, in pursuance of the power and authority vested in me by the said Act, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the Colony, do hereby proclaim and declare that the said force shall henceforth cease to be on actual service.

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, at the Government House at Wellington; and issued under the Seal of the said Colony, this third day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine.

Approved in Council,

FORSTER GORING,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

In pursuance of the above Proclamation by His Excellency the Governor, Sir George Bowen, I, Charles Lambert, Lieutenant-Colonel, commanding the Napier Militia District, do hereby notify that the Militia of the said District are relieved from actual service, to enable such of the members as are required to attend the sittings of the Supreme Court.

Dated at Napier, 7th May, 1869.

C. LAMBERT,
Lieut.-Col. Commanding Napier District.

Printed under the authority of the Government of the Province of Hawke’s Bay, by JAMES WOOD, Printer for the time being to such Government.
