WELLINGTON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1870.

G. F. BOWEN, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Militia Act, 1858," it is
enacted that on the occasions therein men-
tioned 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 pur-
pose, 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 Governor, the danger shall render their ser-
vices necessary:

And whereas, by a Warrant under my hand bearing
date the twenty-fourth day of October, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-eight, I directed the Officer
Commanding the Wairarapa and Castle Point
Militia Districts to draw out, for actual service, the
men of the Militia Force in the said districts:

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.

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 Auckland; and issued under
the Seal of the Colony this thirty-first
day of December, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
nine.
