No. 28.

By His Excellency Sir George Gipps, Knight, Captain-General and Governor in Chief of the Territory of New South Wales and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same, with the advice of the Legislative Council.

"An Act to declare that the Laws of New South Wales extend to Her Majesty's Dominions in the Islands of New Zealand; and to apply the same, so far as applicable, in the Administration of Justice therein; and to indemnify certain Officers for acts already done."

WHEREAS, her Majesty hath been pleased to annex her Majesty's Dominions in the Islands of New Zealand to the Government of New South Wales; and it is expedient that the Laws of New South Wales should be enforced in her Majesty's said Dominions, so far as the same can be applied in the administration of justice therein; Be it therefore enacted, that all Laws and Acts or Ordinances of the Governor and Legislative Council of New South Wales, which now are or hereafter may be in force in the Colony of New South Wales, shall extend to and be applied in the administration of Justice within Her Majesty's dominions in the said Islands of New Zealand, so far as the same can be applied therein, any law, usage, or custom to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding.

II. And whereas doubts may arise as to the validity of acts heretofore done and performed in Her Majesty's said Dominions in the Islands of New Zealand, by the various Justices of the Peace, Lieutenant Governor thereof, and others, and by Justices of the Peace, Constables, and other Officers, acting under and by virtue of Commissions or appointments from Her Majesty, or Her Majesty's Government of New South Wales, for the removal of such doubts, as well as for the indemnification of such Lieutenant Governor, Justices of the Peace, Constables, and other Officers acting as aforesaid; Be it enacted, that the said Lieutenant Governor, Justices of the Peace, Constables, and all other persons who may have acted under, and by virtue of any Commission or appointment from Her Majesty, or the Governor of New South Wales, or the Lieutenant Governor of Her Majesty's Dominions in New Zealand, shall be freed and discharged from all damages, penalties, and forfeitures to which they might otherwise be liable for anything so done or performed; and that no act done or performed by any such Officers shall be questioned or avoided in any Court of Law, by reason of the want of sufficient power and authority, but that all such acts shall be, and they are hereby declared to be, as good and effectual in law as if such persons respectively had done or performed such acts within, and under or by virtue of any Law, Act or Ordinance in force in the Colony of New South Wales.

"GEORGE GIPPS,"
GOVERNOR.
