G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Militia Act, 1858," it is
enacted that on the occasions therein mentioned
it shall be lawful for the Governor, or such person as
he shall from time to time, by warrant under his
hand, appoint as his deputy for that purpose, to
direct the Officer commanding the Militia of any
District, with all convenient speed, to draw out such
Militia Force, and that such Militia shall continue on
actual service so long as, in the opinion of the Gover-
nor, the danger shall render their services necessary:
And whereas, by a warrant under my hand dated
the sixteenth day of November, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-eight, I directed Lieut.-Colonel
Henry Elmhirst Reader, the Officer commanding the
Militia in the Wellington District, to draw out for
actual service the whole of the Militia Force within
the District of Wellington:

Now therefore I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of New Zealand, in pursuance of the
power and authority vested in me by the said Act,
by and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the Colony, do hereby proclaim and
declare, that in my opinion the danger no longer
renders necessary the services of the said Militia
Force in the said District, and that the said force
shall henceforth cease to be on actual service.

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.

WHEREAS by "The Protection of Animals Act,

by Order in Council published in the New Zealand
Gazette, delegate to the Superintendent of any Pro-
vince all or any of the powers by the said Act vested
in the Governor or the Governor in Council, subject
to such regulations as he may think fit, and may from
time to time rescind such delegation: And whereas
by "The Protection of Animals Act Amendment
Act, 1868," the powers given to the Governor and
to the Governor in Council by the said first-mentioned
Act were altered and amended, and new powers were
given to the Governor and to the Governor in
Council: And whereas by the said "Protection of
Animals Act Amendment Act, 1868," it was enacted
that the provisions of the said first-mentioned Act
for the delegation by the Governor in Council of any
powers vested in the Governor or the Governor in
Council, should be construed and taken to apply to

the said "Protection of Animals Act Amendment Act,
1868," as if the provisions of such Act were incor-
porated in and formed part of the said first-mentioned
Act:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the Colony, in pursuance and exercise
of the power and authority vested in him by the
above-recited Acts, doth hereby delegate to

Superintendent of the Province of Otago, so long
as he shall continue and remain Superintendent
of the said Province, all the powers by the said Acts
or either of them vested in the Governor or the
