shall be released, and that the Commissioners shall
make such determination by an award in writing: And
whereas it has been made to appear to the said Com-
missioners that debentures to the amount of fifty-four
thousand five hundred pounds, being part of the deben-
tures to the amount of one hundred and fifty thousand
pounds issued under "The New Zealand Loan Act,
1860," being one of the Acts named in the first
Schedule to the said "Public Debts Sinking Funds Act,
1868," have been converted or exchanged for deben-
tures issued under "The Consolidated Loan Act,
1867," and that the amount of the debentures still out-
standing and unconverted of the said loan of one hun-
dred and fifty thousand pounds is thereby reduced to
the sum of ninety-five thousand five hundred pounds:
And whereas the sum of twenty-six thousand nine
hundred and ninety-one pounds six shillings and two
pence is held by the said Commissioners as accumu-
lated Sinking Fund, for the repayment of the said
loan of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds; and
the sum of seventeen thousand pounds of the said
accumulated Sinking Fund, together with the Sinking
Fund hereafter accruing, with the interest thereon,
will be sufficient to reproduce the said sum of ninety-
five thousand five hundred pounds, being the amount
of the outstanding and unconverted portion of the
said loan of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds,
on or before the first day of July, one thousand eight
hundred and ninety-one, being the day fixed by law
for the repayment thereof:

Now know ye, that the Commissioners of the Public
Debts Sinking Funds, by this their award in writing,
do determine that the sum of nine thousand nine
hundred and ninety-one pounds six shillings and two-
pence, being part of the said accumulated Sinking
Fund so held by them for the payment of the
debentures issued under "The New Zealand Loan
Act, 1860," shall be released and paid over to the
Public Account of New Zealand, to the credit of the
Consolidated Fund, as by the said Public Debts
Sinking Funds Act provided.

As witness our hands this fifteenth day of
March, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-nine.
