ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, the
tenth day of January, 1867.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Customs Regulation Act,
1858," it is amongst other things enacted that
if any goods enumerated or described in the Table of
Prohibitions contained in the thirty-second section
of the said Act, shall be imported or brought into
New Zealand, then and in every such case such
goods shall be forfeited, and shall be destroyed or
disposed of as the Commissioner of Customs may
direct.

And whereas in the said Table of Prohibition of
goods absolutely prohibited to be imported, are
included infected cattle, sheep, or other animals, and
hides, skins, horns, hoofs, or any other part of cattle
or other animals which the Governor in Council may
prohibit, in order to prevent any infectious or
contagious distemper or disease.

And whereas an Order in Council, made on the
eleventh day of January last, did absolutely prohibit
the importation from the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, or from any part of the
Continent of Europe, into New Zealand, of any cattle,
sheep, goats, horses, pigs, or poultry, and of hides,
skins, horns, hoofs, and all parts of such animals.

And whereas another Order in Council, made on
the twenty-fourth day of August last, did absolutely
prohibit the importation from the State of Panama,
into New Zealand, of any such animals as aforesaid,
or any parts of such animals.

And whereas it is desirable to amend the first
recited Order in Council, and to repeal the last
recited Order in Council :

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor,
by and with the advice of the Executive Council,
doth revoke that part of the first recited Order in
Council, of the eleventh day of January last, which
relates to the prohibition of the importation of sheep,
goats, horses, pigs, or poultry, and of hides, skins,
horns, hoofs, and all other parts of those animals,
and doth declare that cattle and all parts of cattle
are only prohibited to be imported, except in those
cases in respect of which a special authority, after
due inspection, has been obtained from the Govern-
ment for the importation of such cattle or parts of
cattle.

And further, His Excellency the Governor, by and
with the advice of the Executive Council, doth
altogether revoke the second recited Order in
Council, of the twenty-fourth day of August last,
prohibiting the importation into New Zealand, from
the State of Panama, of certain animals or parts of
animals specified in such Order.

Clerk of the Executive Council.

Court Act, 1860," it is provided that there shall be
held Circuit Courts for the despatch of civil and
criminal business of the Court, before one of the
Judges thereof, at such places and times as the
Governor in Council may from time to time appoint :
Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the Colony, doth hereby fix and
appoint that Circuit Courts shall be held at
Hokitika, within the Judicial District of Westland,
for the despatch of civil and criminal business from
and after the fifteenth day of February, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-seven, upon the fifteenth day
of May, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven,
and the fifteenth day of September, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-seven, or as soon after the

mation dated the twelfth day of October, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-five, and in case any one of
the said days so fixed as aforesaid shall happen to be

1867.

Present :

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

Act, 1858," power is given to the Governor in
Council from time to time to make rules and regu-
lations for managing the several Post Offices within
the said Colony, for the receiving, despatching, convey-
ing and delivering of letters (including the imposition
of fees for private boxes and deliveries) ; for the
detaining, opening, and return, or other disposal of
irregularly posted, unclaimed, and refused letters, or
such as from any cause whatsoever cannot be
delivered or forwarded, and the contents thereof
respectively; and for the publication of the lists of
the same, and for the making, custody, and sale of
postage labels, for the receiving and paying of money
in connection with the said Postal Service, and for the
conduct of the post officers, and any such rules and
regulations at any time in force to alter, vary, or
revoke :

And whereas by an Order in Council dated the
twenty-third day of March, 1866, a Regulation was
established to take effect from the fourteenth day of
May, 1866, whereby it was provided that the payment
of poundage to country postmasters and licensed
stamp sellers on their sales of postage stamps should
be abolished : And whereas it is expedient that the
payment of poundages on such sales should be again
made :

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
pursuance of the said recited power and authority,
doth by this present order, by and with the advice
and consent of the Executive Council of New
Zealand, revoke the above recited Order of the
twenty-third day of March, 1866, and doth declare
that payment of poundage to country postmasters
and licensed stamp sellers shall be allowed to them
at the rate of Two pounds ten shillings per centum,
on the value of postage stamps purchased by them
from the Government ; and doth further declare that
