WHEREAS by an Act made and

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 disallow-
ance of such Bill, and that such disallow-
ance shall make void and annul the same

And whereas an Ordinance hath been

the said Ordinance was received by me on

allowed.
Now therefore, I, the Officer administer-
ing the Government of New Zealand, in

liament, do hereby proclaim and declare
my disallowance of the said recited Ordi-
nance.
Given under my hand and issued
