from the Supreme Court of New Zealand to Her
Majesty in Council.

At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 10th day of
May, 1860.

The Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

WHEREAS by an Ordinance passed by the Governor
and Legislative Council of the Colony of New
Zealand in the 7th year of Her Majesty's reign,
intituled "Session III., No. I., An Ordinance for
establishing a Supreme Court," it was enacted that
there should be within the said Colony a Court of
Record, called the Supreme Court of New Zealand,
with the powers and jurisdiction therein specified...
And whereas by another Ordinance passed in the
tenth year of Her Majesty's reign, and intituled
"Session VII., No. III., An Ordinance to amend an
Ordinance for establishing a Supreme Court, and to

Court to appeal directly from a decision of the said
Court to Her Majesty in Council. And whereas by
