G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS intelligence has been received of the
intended publication of a notice, purporting to
be issued by the so-styled Chief Secretary at Bau,
Fiji, inviting Volunteers to take military service
under Thakobau, styled King of Bau, for the purpose
of assisting him in subjugating certain tribes in the
interior of Viti Levu, and thereupon to sign a
declaration faithfully to serve the said so-styled
King Thakobau, his heirs and successors, against all
native enemies, and to obey all his and their orders,
and the orders of all European Generals and officers
set over such Volunteers, and whereby inducements
to such service are held out by promises of large
grants of land: And whereas it is contrary to law
that such service should be entered upon by British
subjects without the leave or license of Her Majesty:

Now therefore I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of New Zealand, by and with the advice
and consent of the Executive Council of the Colony,
do hereby warn all and sundry Her Majesty's
subjects in the Colony of New Zealand, that all
persons, being British subjects, who shall, without the
leave or license of Her Majesty in that behalf
obtained, enter into such service and sign such
declaration as aforesaid, or shall contract or engage
to enter, to take, or accept such service, or shall
engage others to enter into such service, will be
guilty of a misdemeanour, and will render themselves
liable to prosecution according to law.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished Order
of Saint Michael and Saint George,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in
and over Her Majesty's Colony of New
Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-
Admiral of the same, at the Government
House, at Wellington, and issued under
the Seal of the said Colony, this sixteenth
day of April, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine.
