NEW ZEALAND
GOVERNMENT GAZETTE,
Published by Authority.

VOL. II.] AUCKLAND, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1842. [No. 10.

THE attention of the Heads of De-
partments is particularly called
to the necessity for sending in to the
Office of the Colonial Secretary early on
Saturday, whatever is intended for pub-
lication in the Government Gazette on
the ensuing Wednesday, as non-atten-
tion to this rule has in some instances
delayed the publication of the Ga-
zette.

Heads of Departments are further
requested to cause the Government
Gazette to be carefully filed in their
respective offices, as they will be
expected to transfer that document,
with the other Records, to their suc-
cessors in Office.

By His Excellency's Command.
WILLOUGHBY SHORTLAND.

rected to His Excellency, marked "Confiden-
tial."

By His Excellency's command,
EDWARD SHORTLAND,
