hereinafter set forth :

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of New Zealand, by virtue and in exercise
of the powers and authorities conferred upon me by
the forty-first section of "The Immigration and
Public Works Act, 1870," and of all other powers
and authorities enabling me in that behalf, and in
compliance with the request of the said Superin-
tendent, do hereby make the following Regulations,
that is to say :-

REGULATIONS FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF IMMIGRANTS
INTO THE PROVINCE OF HAWKE'S BAY, 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
   Napier only; the cost of reaching London and pro-
   ceeding up the country after arrival in Napier 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
   place appointed by the Agent-General in England for
   the sailing of such ship, be left behind, the passage
   money and passages will be forfeited.

4. All the ships employed in this service will be
   under the provisions of "The Passenger Act."

5. Notwithstanding anything herein to the con-
   trary, the Agent-General in England will have power
   to refuse passages where the intending Emigrants are
   in ill health or in any way unfitted, according to his
   judgment, to undertake the voyage.

6. Applications for passages are to be addressed to
   His Honor the Superintendent, Napier, in the fol-
   lowing form, viz. :-
