ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At Wellington, this thirteenth day of March, 1871.
Present :

THE HONORABLE WILLIAM FOX, PRIME MINISTER,
PRESIDING, AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE
COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The New Zealand Post Office
Act, 1858," power is given to the Governor
in Council from time to time to make rules and
regulations for the management of the several Post
Offices of the said Colony; for the receiving, despatch-
ing, conveying, and delivering of letters; for the
detaining, opening, and return or other disposal of
irregularly posted letters, or such as from any cause
whatever cannot be delivered or forwarded, and the
contents thereof respectively, and for the publication
of the lists of the same; and for the conduct of Post
officers; and any such rules and regulations at any
time in force to alter, vary, or revoke; and for the
purpose of giving effect to the rules and regulations
so to be made, further power is given to the Governor
in Council by the said Act to impose any penalty
not exceeding ten pounds for any one offence against
such rules and regulations: And whereas it is
expedient to prevent the transmission through the
Post of any letter, newspaper, or packet bearing
on the outside thereof any profane, obscene, or
libellous words, figures, drawings, paintings, or other
matter:

Now therefore, His Excellency Sir George Fergu-
son Bowen, the Governor of New Zealand, in pur-
suance of the said recited power and authority, and
by and with the consent of the Executive Council of
the Colony, doth hereby make the following ad-
ditional Regulation:—

No letter, newspaper, parcel, or packet bearing
on the outside thereof any profane, obscene, or
libellous words, figures, drawings, paintings, or other
matter, shall be received into the Post Office for
transmission, and if tendered shall be refused. If
such a letter, newspaper, parcel, or packet be posted,
it shall not be forwarded, but the Postmaster or
other officer in charge of the Post Office where the
same shall be posted or be found shall transmit with-
out delay to the Postmaster-General any such letter,
newspaper, packet, or parcel so posted; and the
Postmaster-General is hereby authorized to open
such letter, newspaper, packet, or parcel, and to
cause the same, and also its contents, to be destroyed
—unless the Postmaster-General shall direct the
same to be forfeited to the Crown or returned to the
writer or sender.

FORSTER GORING,
Clerk of Executive Council.
WILLIAM FOX,
Presiding.

G. F. BOWEN, Governor.

Juries Act, 1868," it is enacted that in case any
District Court shall thereafter be lawfully directed

those at which Courts were then holden, the Clerk
of the Resident Magistrate's Court there, if there
be one, or a Jury Officer to be appointed for the
jury district of such town in manner in the said
Act mentioned, shall act as Jury Officer for the
jury district of such town; and such Jury Officer,
and all Justices of the Peace, and the Registrars,
Clerks, or other officers of Courts, constables and
officers of Police, and Sheriffs, shall within such
time as the Governor shall order for that occasion
only do and perform all such acts, matters, and
