G. F. BOWEN, Governor.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand, intituled "The Commis-
sioners' Powers Act, 1867," certain powers are given
to any Board or Commission appointed or issued or
to be appointed or issued by the Governor in
Council. And whereas divers claims for compensa-
tion for losses occasioned by and for special services
in suppressing rebel Natives during the war, have
been preferred by settlers residing in the Provinces
of Hawke's Bay and Auckland. And it is expedient
that such claims should be investigated, and that
their reasonable amounts should be ascertained:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of
the Executive Council of the Colony, do hereby
appoint

GEORGE SISSON COOPER, Esq.,
of Napier, Resident Magistrate, to be a Commis-
sioner to investigate the said claims and ascertain
their reasonableness and respective amounts, and for
this purpose to take evidence, and hear the said
claimants themselves, their counsel or agents and
witnesses, and to direct that the said Commissioner
shall, by one or more reports as he shall deem
expedient, make known to me what he shall have
done in the premises.

George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished Order

and over Her Majesty's Colony of New

Admiral of the same, at the Government
House, at Wellington, this sixth day of
March, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-eight.
