seventh day of October, 1859.

Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR,
COL. GOLD,
MR. WHITAKER,
MR. RICHMOND,
MR. TANCRED.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General
Assembly, intituled the "Gold Duty
Act, 1858," it is enacted that from and after
the day on which the Act now in recital should
come into operation, there should be levied,
collected, and paid to Her Majesty, her Heirs,
and Successors, for the Public Uses of the Co-
lony, and in support of the Government thereof,
the following duty upon Gold, that is to say,-
At the Customs, previous to exportation from
New Zealand, the sum of two shillings and
sixpence upon every ounce Troy Weight of
such Gold, and so on in proportion for any
greater or less quantity than an ounce: Pro-
vided always, that until the then next Session
of the General Assembly, it should be lawful
for the Governor, by an Order in Council, to
declare that a lower rate of duty than two
shillings and sixpence should be collected on
each ounce; and also from time to time to sus-
pend the collection of such Duty whenever to
the Governor in Council it should seem meet:

And whereas by an Order in Council, made
the 23rd day of September last, the Governor,
by and with the advice and consent of his Exe-
cutive Council, did suspend the collection of
the said duty as from the time of the coming
into operation of the said Act until such time
as should thereafter be appointed by His
Excellency, by and with such advice and con-
sent as aforesaid:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Gover-
nor, by and with the advice and consent of his
Executive Council, doth by this present Order
appoint that such suspension of the collection
of the said duty shall cease and determine on
the 1st day of November next, on and after
which day the said duty shall be levied, col-
lected, and paid.

Clerk of the Executive Council.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General
Assembly of New Zealand, intituled

vided that it shall be lawful for the Governor in

the Superintendent of any Province, or to such
other person as the Governor may deem fit, all
or any of the powers vested in the Governor,
or the Governor in Council by the said Act,
except the powers conferred by sections 7, 8,
