WHEREAS by "The Government Annuities Act,

of the said tables from time to time, and to direct the
use and adoption of such other tables in lieu thereof
as shall be approved of by the Governor in Council;

and also from time to time to make any rules and

And whereas by an Order in Council, bearing date

numbered I. and II. in the Schedule to the said
recited Order in Council shall be altered by insert-
ing at the foot of each of the said tables a condition
in the words following:-"When the person desiring
to insure his life is an officiating minister within the
meaning of 'The Marriage Act, 1854,' or any Act
for the time being in force amending the said Act, the
premium or other payment to be paid thenceforth
by such person, whether he shall thereafter cease to
be such officiating minister or not, shall be such sum
consisting of an integral number of pence as shall be
nearest to nineteen-twentieths of the sum which
would be required to be paid by such person if not
an officiating minister as aforesaid:" And I do hereby,
by and with the advice and consent aforesaid, declare
the said conditions to be a regulation for carrying the
said Act into effect, and do make the same a regula-
tion accordingly.
