G. GREY, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, the
eighth day of January, 1868.

Present:

THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE
COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand, intituled "The Gold Fields
Act, 1866," it is provided that whenever the Governor
shall have delegated to the Superintendent of any
Province all or any of the powers vested in the
Governor or Governor in Council by the said Act,
and capable of delegation, it shall be lawful for the
Governor by Order in Council to appoint and
declare that all costs, charges, and expenses incident
to the management and administration of the Gold
Fields within such Province shall be regulated by
Acts or Ordinances to be passed by the Superin-
tendent and Provincial Council of such Province.

And whereas by an instrument in writing bearing
date the twelfth day of October, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-six, issued under the hand of the
Governor and the Seal of the Colony, the Governor,
with the advice and consent of the Executive Council
of the Colony, and in exercise of the before recited
power, delegated to the Superintendent of the Pro-
vince of Canterbury certain powers under the said
Act to hold and exercise within the Province afore-
said.

And whereas by an Order in Council dated the
tenth day of January, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-seven, His Excellency the Governor, in
for this purpose by the said Act conferred, did, with
the advice and consent of the Executive Council of
the Colony, appoint and declare that the costs,
charges, and expenses incident to the management
and administration of the Gold Fields within the
Province of Canterbury, among the other Provinces,
shall be regulated by Acts to be passed by the
Superintendents and Provincial Councils thereof.

And whereas by an instrument bearing even date
herewith, and issued as aforesaid, His Excellency the
Governor, in pursuance of the power and authority
for this purpose by the said Act conferred, doth,
with the advice and consent of the Executive Coun-
cil of the Colony, revoke from and after the eighth day
of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
eight, the powers so delegated as hereinbefore
recited.

And whereas it is expedient therefore that the said
Order in Council bearing date the tenth day of
January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
seven, shall be revoked so far as it relates to the
Province of Canterbury :

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
pursuance and exercise of all powers and authorities
enabling him in this behalf, doth hereby, with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of this
Colony, revoke and cancel from and after the first day
of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
eight, the said Order in Council, made on the said
tenth day of January, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-seven, but only so far as the same appoints
and declares that all costs, charges, and expenses
incident to the management and administration of
the Gold Fields in the Province of Canterbury,
shall be regulated by Acts to be passed by the
Superintendent and Provincial Council of Canter-
bury, or otherwise howsoever relates to the Province
of Canterbury.
