WHEREAS, by an Ordinance enacted by the Governor-in-Chief of New Zea-
land, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, Session 9, No. 2,
intituled "An Ordinance for regulating the Conveyance and Postage of Letters," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Go-
vernor-in-Chief from time to time, by Proclamation to be published in the Govern-
ment Gazette, to abolish, alter, and fix the Colonial Postage payable for the transmission by Post of letters and other papers within the said colony, and to alter, repeal or abolish any Colonial Postage so altered or fixed as aforesaid, and to make or esta-
blish any new or other Postage in lieu thereof:

And whereas, in the table of Rates of Postage attached to the Post Office Regu-
lations at present in force within the colony it is declared that—

"In addition, all the above letters and newspapers, if conveyed by Post from the Port of arrival to any other Port of the colony, are liable to an additional inland Postage of fourpence on letters, and one-penny on newspapers."

And whereas it is expedient that the foregoing Regulation be rescinded.

Now, therefore I, the said Governor-in-Chief, do hereby proclaim and declare, that the said Regulation is rescinded from the aforesaid table of Rates.

And that, in lieu thereof, there shall be substituted the following:—

"In addition, all letters, if conveyed by Post from the port of arrival to any other port of the Colony, are liable to an additional Postage of one penny.

And I declare that the rates on such letters as aforesaid shall be charged and are payable accordingly.

This Proclamation shall take effect from and after the day on which it may be received at the several Post Offices in the colony of New Zealand.

Given under my hand, and issued under the Public Seal of the Islands of New Zealand at Government House, at Welling-
ton, in the Province of New Munster, this Eighteenth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-eight.
