WHEREAS, by an Act made and enacted
in the Parliament holden in the fif-
teenth and sixteenth years of the reign of her
Majesty Queen Victoria, intituled " An Act
to grant a Representative Constitution to the
colony of New Zealand," it is amongst other
things enacted that whenever any Bill shall
have been assented to by the Superintendent
as in the said recited Act provided, the Su-
perintendent shall forthwith transmit to the
Governor an authentic copy thereof, and it
shall be lawful for the Governor at any time
within three months after any such Bill shall
have been received by him to declare by
Proclamation his disallowance of such Bill,
and that any such disallowance shall
make void and annul the same, from and
after the day of the date of such Proclama-
tion or any subsequent day to be named
therein.
And whereas an Ordinance hath been
enacted by the Superintendent of the Pro-

behalf by the said recited Act of Parliament,
do hereby proclaim and declare my disallow-
ance of the said recited Ordinance.

sand eight hundred and fifty-
