WHEREAS by "The Militia Act, 1870," it is
enacted that the Governor shall cause the
whole of the Militia, or such part thereof as he may
think proper, to be trained as a military force, and
for this purpose shall by Proclamation in the New
Zealand Gazette cause notice of fourteen days to be
given of the times and places for the first muster;
and such notice shall be published in some local
newspaper circulating in the Province in which the
district is situate, or be posted in some conspicuous
place within the district. The particular times and
places for subsequent meetings shall be fixed in every
Militia District by the Officer Commanding in such
district: Provided that it shall be lawful for every
officer in command, at any first muster or subsequent
meeting, by order on parade, and without further
notice, to give notice of and appoint other times and

places for such meetings. Such notice as aforesaid
shall be deemed sufficient notice to every Militiaman
of the time and place of every meeting: Provided
always that no Militiaman shall be compelled to
attend for training and exercise more than one
hundred and sixty-eight hours in any one year; and
provided also that any Militiaman called out at the
time of the passing of this Act shall be deemed to
have been called out under this Act. And whereas
at the time of the passing of the said " Militia Act,
1870," the Militia for the District of Auckland, being
the same Militia District as is constituted for the
District of Auckland under the said Act, and as set
forth in the Schedule thereto, were called out:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
the Governor of New Zealand, in exercise and pur-
suance of all powers and authorities enabling me in
this behalf, do hereby order that all Militiamen of
the Auckland Militia District shall cease to be called
out under the said " Militia Act, 1870," from the
day of the date hereof.

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; and issued at
Wellington, this fifth day of December,
in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Resident Magistrates Act,
1861," it is enacted that it shall be lawful
for the Governor, by Proclamation in the New
Zealand Gazette, at any time to abolish the extended
jurisdiction which he is by the said Act authorized to
confer upon any Resident Magistrate's Court: And
whereas by a Proclamation bearing date the twentieth
day of January, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-eight, the limit of jurisdiction of the Resident
Magistrate's Court hereinafter mentioned was ex-
tended to one hundred pounds: And whereas it is
expedient to abolish the extended jurisdiction given
to the said Court by the said Proclamation:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
the Governor of New Zealand, do hereby, in pur-
suance of the power and authority vested in me by
the said Act, proclaim and declare that, on and after
the thirty-first day of December instant, the extended
jurisdiction so given as aforesaid to the Resident
Magistrate's Court for the Resident Magistrate's
District of Timaru shall be abolished.

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; and issued under
the Seal of the said Colony, at Wellington,
this fourteenth day of December, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy.
