WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand, intituled "The Fields Acts
Amendment Act, 1865," it is enacted 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 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 Act now in recital,
or by "The Gold Fields Act, 1862," or by "The
Gold Fields Act Amendment Act, 1863," except the
powers conferred by sections nineteen, thirty-one
thirty-three, and sixty-one of the said "Gold Fields
Act, 1862," and sections nineteen and twenty-nine of
the said Act now in recital, 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 Orders in Council, bearing
date the 18th day of November, 1865, I, Sir George
Grey, the Governor as aforesaid, did in pursuance of
the above recited powers delegate to the Superin-
tendents of Auckland, Taranaki, Hawke's Bay,
Wellington, Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury,
Otago, and Southland respectively, all the powers
vested in me by the said Acts, except the powers
conferred by the sections excepted as aforesaid.

And whereas it is expedient further to except from
the said delegations the powers conferred by sections
numbers forty-two and forty-three of the said recited
Act of 1862:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the Governor
as aforesaid of the said Colony, with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council thereof, and in
exercise of the power and authority for this purpose
in me vested, do hereby revoke so much of the afore-
said Orders in Council as delegate to the said Super-
intendents the powers conferred by sections numbers

forty-two and forty-three of "The Gold Fields Act,
1862."

Approved in Council.
