is enacted that the postage on newspapers posted
within the Colony for delivery within the Colony
shall be one penny each: And whereas by "The
New Zealand Post Office Act Amendment Act, 1870,
No. 2," it is enacted that notwithstanding anything
contained in "The New Zealand Post Office Act
Amendment Act, 1866," it shall be lawful for the
Governor in Council from time to time to make

and subject to such regulations and the conditions

therein contained to exempt from payment of postage
all newspapers addressed to the Manager, Keeper,
Clerk, Secretary, Librarian, or other person having
the charge of any Athenæum, Mechanics' Institute,
Hospital, Public Library, or Lunatic Asylum in New
Zealand; or to any such Athenæum, Mechanics'

lawful by any such regulations to permit the delivery
free of postage of any newspaper except to such

Principal Polling Place for the district, and all or
any of such Polling Places from time to time to
abolish, and, if he think fit, to appoint other Polling
Places in lieu of those abolished, and that every such
Warrant shall be published in the New Zealand
Gazette: Provided always that no Polling Place shall
be appointed by the Governor under the said Act

appointed is more convenient than any other for at
least twenty electors to record their votes thereat:
