Esquire, Lieutenant Governor and Com-
mander-in-Chief in and over Her Majes-
ty's Colony of New Zealand, and its
Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the
same, &c., &c., &c.

WHEREAS by a Proclamation bearing
date the 26th day of April, 1845, it
was proclaimed and declared that MARTIAL LAW
would be exercised throughout that part of the
Northern District of New Zealand which lies
around the Bay of Islands, (including the said
Bay,) and within a circle of sixty miles in any
direction from Russell, until the said District
should be relieved from the jurisdiction of Mar-
tial Law by public Proclamation. And Whereas
the present circumstances of the Colony render
it unnecessary that Martial Law should be
longer exercised within the said District.

Now, I, the Lieutenant Governor, do hereby
proclaim and declare, that from and after the
first day of February next, the said District will
be relieved from the jurisdiction of Martial Law.

Given under My Hand, and issued

Lord One thousand eight hun-
dred and forty-six,

GEORGE GREY,
Lieutenant-Governor.
