WHEREAS by an Act of the General
Assembly of New Zealand, intituled
"The Provincial Reserved Bills Act,
1858," it is provided, whenever any Bill
shall have passed the Provincial Council
of any Province, and shall have been re-
served by the Superintendent for the sig-
nification of the Governor’s pleasure thereon,
such Bill shall not have any force or

Superintendent shall signify, either by
speech or message to the Provincial Council,
or by Proclamation in the Government
Gazette of the said Province, that such
Bill has been laid before the Governor, and
that the Governor has assented to the
same:

And whereas an Act for the "Prevention

lation of the Police Force of the Province
of Marlborough, 1864," were passed by the

nor’s pleasure thereon.

Now, therefore, I, Arthur Penrose
Seymour, do hereby proclaim and notify
that the above-mentioned Acts, having been
duly laid before His Excellency the Gover-
nor, and the Governor having assented to
the same, are, under the provisions of the
said recited Act of the General Assembly,
in full force and authority within the Pro-
vince of Marlborough from the date of this
Proclamation.

Dated this fourteenth day of September,
