Now therefore I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the

compliance with the request of the said Superin-

that is to say:-

REGULATIONS FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF IMMIGRANTS
INTO THE PROVINCE OF WELLINGTON, ON THE
NOMINATION OF PERSONS RESIDENT THEREIN.

1. Each applicant will be required to pay the sum
   of £5 for each adult at the time of making the
   application, and £2 10s. for each child between the
   ages of one and twelve years. Infants in arms, under
   one year, free. This rate being from London to
   Wellington only: the cost of reaching London and
   proceeding up the country after arrival in Wellington
   will have to be defrayed by the Emigrants themselves.

2. As a rule, no unmarried females can be provided
   with passages under these Regulations, excepting they
   accompany and are under the care of some specified
   relative or friend. Passages for unmarried females
   not so accompanied can only be granted subject to
   the Agent-General in England being able to make
   suitable provision for oversight during the voyage.

3. In the event of any Emigrants applied for
   declining to emigrate, whatever money may have
   been deposited with the Government will be returned
   so soon as the Agent-General in England shall have
   apprised the Government thereof; but in the event
   of any Emigrants applied for accepting the offer of a
   passage in a particular ship, and so, by failing to
   present themselves for embarkation at the time and
