WHEREAS by "The Post Office Act, 1858," it is

declare that, in addition to the provisions of the
Proclamation of 29th December, 1860, a postage rate
shall be fixed for the transmission by post of printed
"Trade Circulars" and "Prices Current," and shall
be charged and paid before the same shall be trans-
mitted by post as follows:-

For every printed "Trade Circular" or "Prices
Current" published in the Colony and
posted in New Zealand for any part of the
Colony, or for places beyond seas, One penny 1d.

And I do further appoint and declare that this
Proclamation shall take effect on and after the first
day of March, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
six.
