enacted that on 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

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
Governor, the danger shall render their services
necessary:

And whereas, by a Warrant under my hand bearing
date the twenty-eighth day of November, one thou-
sand eight hundred and sixty-eight, I directed the
Officer Commanding the Manawatu Militia District
to draw out, for actual service, the men of the
Militia Force in the said district:

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 the said Force shall henceforth cease to
be on actual service.
