IN addition to the Instructions published in the
New Zealand Gazette of the 1st day of May, 1867,
the following Instructions are published for the
guidance of Customs Officers, Magistrates, and
others in conducting Investigations under "The
Inquiry into Wrecks Act, 1863."
J. L. C. RICHARDSON,
(in the absence of the Postmaster-General.)

1. Where any investigation is likely to affect the
   character of an engineer of a steamer, one or more
   Engineering Assessors should be appointed. ("Mer-
   chant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862," section
   23, subsection 5.)
2. When questions involve nautical or engineering
   skill, more than one Assessor may be appointed.
   (Same section and sub-section as above.)
3. The power of suspending or cancelling certifi-
   cates, either of Masters, Mates, or Engineers is
   vested in the Court by which the case is investigated,
   and that Court must consequently decide that the
   certificate in question shall be suspended for a given
   time, or cancelled, as the case may be, and state such
   decision in open Court; any mere recommendation
   that the certificate be suspended or cancelled is not
   legal. ("Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act,
   1862," section 23, subsections 1 and 3.)
