WELLINGTON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1871.

G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand, intituled "The Resident
Magistrates Act, 1867," it is enacted that it shall be
lawful for the Governor, from time to time, or at any
time, by Proclamation in the New Zealand Gazette,
to declare that the limit of jurisdiction of the
Resident Magistrate's Court of any district shall be
extended to fifty pounds, or to one hundred pounds,
as he may think proper, and thereupon such Court
shall have power to hear and determine any case in
which the amount of the debt or damage claimed
shall not exceed the limit fixed by such Proclamation,
and which might have been lawfully tried in such
Court, in case the amount of the debt or damage
claimed therein had not exceeded twenty pounds, and
by Proclamation in the New Zealand Gazette at any
time to abolish the extended jurisdiction conferred
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 within the "Napier and Waipu-
kurau District," as constituted by a Proclamation
bearing date the twenty-ninth day of November, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, was extended
to fifty pounds, and by a Proclamation bearing date
the third day of June, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy, the said extended jurisdiction was
abolished, and it is expedient to restore such juris-
diction:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in
pursuance and exercise of the power and authority
in me vested in this behalf, do hereby proclaim and
declare that the limit of jurisdiction of the Resident
Magistrate's Court within the said Districts of
Napier and Waipukurau shall, from and after the
eleventh day of December instant, be extended to
fifty pounds.

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 fourth day of December,
in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-one.

rebellion or other disturbances in any part of the
Colony, and shall be stationed at any place near to or
within such part, it shall be lawful for the Governor
from time to time, by Proclamation, to declare that,
from and after a day to be fixed therein, such part of
the Colony as shall be defined in the Proclamation
shall be a Proclaimed District within the meaning
and for the purposes of the said Act; and thereupon
it shall not be lawful for any person, whether holding
a license under any Act or Ordinance regulating the
sale of wine, ale, beer, or spirits, or not, to sell or
supply any wine, beer, or spirituous or fermented
liquor of any kind without the permission of such
person as the Governor shall from time to time
appoint to grant permits for the sale of such articles
within such district:

And whereas the Colonial Forces are now employed
in suppressing rebellion and other disturbances in
the part of the Colony hereinafter described, and are
