of New Zealand, and Vice-Admiral of the
same, &c., &c., &c.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand, intituled, "The Gold Fields
Act, 1862," it is provided that it shall be lawful for
the Governor in Council, under his hand and the
Public Seal of the Colony, from time to time to
delegate to 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 nineteen, thirty-one,
thirty-two, thirty-three, and sixty-one thereof, subject
or not to any limitations or restrictions as he may
think fit, and in like manner to alter or revoke any
such powers;

And whereas by certain Proclamations, bearing
date respectively the 15th day of September, 1863,
the 15th day of September, 1863, the 16th day
of June, 1864, and the 29th day of December,
1864, the Governor did, in pursuance of the above
recited powers, delegate to the Superintendents
of Otago, Nelson, Marlborough, and Auckland,
all the powers vested in him under the said in
part recited Act, except the powers contained in
sections Nos. nineteen, thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-
three, and sixty-one of the said Act; to have, hold,
and exercise the same within the aforesaid Provinces
of Otago, Nelson, Marlborough, and Auckland,
respectively;

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said Proclamations as delegate the powers under
sections forty-two and forty-three of the said Act to
the Superintendents of the aforesaid Provinces:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the Governor
aforesaid, with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council, and in exercise of the power and authority
for that purpose in me vested, do hereby revoke so
much of the aforesaid Proclamations of the 15th day
of September, 1863, the 15th day of September, 1863,
the 16th day of June, 1864, and the 29th day of
December, 1864, as delegates to the said Superin-
tendents the powers set forth in sections Nos. forty-
two and forty-three of "The Gold Fields Act 1862."

And I declare that this Proclamation shall come
into operation and take effect from the day of the
date hereof.

Given under my hand, at the Government
House, at Wellington, and issued under
the Public Seal of the Colony of New
Zealand, this twenty-fourth day of July,
in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-five.

G. GREY.
