A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by certain conditions upon which
land in the Province of Taranaki was granted
to Volunteer Militiamen, it was declared that when
such Volunteer Militia should be authorized by the
Government to take possession of their land they
would be relieved from "actual service." And
whereas it appears that various officers, non-
commissioned officers and privates, who were enrolled
or appointed under those conditions have now been
authorized to take possession of their land in the
said Province:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, K.C.B., the,
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in
pursuance of the powers vested in me by "The
Militia Act, 1858," do hereby dismiss from "actual
service," the officers, non-commissioned officers, and
privates, who have been authorized to take possession
of their land, and do hereby further dismiss from
actual service all officers, non-commissioned officers,
and privates so enrolled or appointed, who may from
time to time be authorized to take possession of
their land from the time or respective times of such
authorization.

Zealand and its Dependencies, at
the Government House, at Wellington,

of New Zealand, this twelfth day of
January, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven.
