To the Honorable Nathaniel William Levin, a
Member of the Legislative Council; Jonas

WHEREAS it is expedient, for divers good causes
and considerations, that a Commission should
forthwith issue for the purposes hereinafter
mentioned:

Now know ye, that, reposing great trust and
confidence in your zeal and ability, I, Sir George
Ferguson Bowen, G.C.M.G., the Governor of New
Zealand, with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of New Zealand, do, by these Presents,
authorize and appoint you the said
NATHANIEL WILLIAM LEVIN,
JONAS WOODWARD, and
ARTHUR WILLIAM FOLLETT HALCOMBE,
to be a Commission to examine all the documents
purporting to be Bonds and Debentures issued under
any Act or Acts of the General Assembly, or under
any Act or Ordinance of any of the several Provinces
in New Zealand, and all Coupons belonging thereto,
which have been received in exchange or as payment
for Debentures issued under the authority of "The
Consolidated Loan Act, 1867," and to determine
whether the said documents are genuine, and to
accept, on behalf of the Colony, so many of the said
documents as you shall find to be authentic: And
I do, with the like advice and consent as aforesaid,
appoint you to inquire whether the condition of a
certain Bond bearing date the twenty-sixth day of
January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
nine, under the hands and seals of Penrose Goodchild
Julyan and William Charles Sargeaunt, of Spring
Gardens, in the County of Middlesex, in England,
whereby the said Penrose Goodchild Julyan and
William Charles Sargeaunt became bound to William
Fitzherbert, Esquire, in the sum of twenty thousand
pounds (£20,000), has been fulfilled, and whether
they ought to be released from their Bond, or
whether the said Bond should be put in suit: And
I, with the like advice and consent, enjoin you, that
you do, before the twenty-first day of October next,
or as much sooner as the same can conveniently
be done (using all diligence), certify to me under
your hands and seals, or under the hands and seals
of any one or more of you, your several proceedings,
and your opinion touching the premises: And I,
with the like advice and consent, appoint the said
Jonas Woodward to be Chairman, and to preside at
all your meetings whereat he shall be present: And
I, with the like advice and consent, order that this
present Commission shall continue in full force and
virtue, and that you the said Commissioners, or
one or more of you, shall and may from time to time
proceed in the execution thereof, and of every matter
and thing therein contained, though the same be not
continued from time to time by adjournment.
