Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand intituled "The Militia Acts
Amendment Act, 1862," it is enacted that the
Governor in Council shall, from time to time make
Regulations under which Pensions shall be granted
'to Discharged Soldiers in the Militia Service: Now,

advice and consent of the Executive Council of the
Colony, and in exercise of the powers in this behalf
vested in him by the said recited Act, doth hereby
make and ordain the following Regulations for
ascertaining and granting Pensions to Discharged
Soldiers in the Militia Service :-

1. Three Commissioners shall be appointed by the
   Government, who shall be charged with the duty of
   administering these Regulations.

2. The Commissioners are charged with the appli-
   cation of those rules which are to govern the ordinary
   grants of pension. But the Commissioners shall not,
   without the concurrence of the Government, act upon
   any discharge which shall not have been completed
   according to the form prescribed by the Government;
   nor upon such discharge unless it be brought before
   them within six months after the date on which the
   soldier shall have quitted the service.

3. Such special deviations from those general rules
   as are hereinafter expressed, or as may appear advis-
   able to the Government, will be made by the Govern-
   ment, with whom alone it rests to interpret the true
   intent and meaning of any passage in the Regulations
   on which a doubt may arise.

4. The pecuniary benefits attaching to cases of
   disability, are expressly and strictly to be limited to
   disability caused in and by the service.
