G. F. BOWEN, Governor.

WHEREAS by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1870," it is among other things
enacted that the Governor may, at the request of the
Superintendent of any Province, from time to time
make regulations (as therein mentioned) for the con-
duct of immigration under the said Act into such
Province, and for the nomination of Immigrants by
persons resident therein, and for the distribution of
funds provided by the said Act for immigration pur-
poses, and for the introduction into and settlement
in such Province of Immigrants, and for selling as
special settlements for any such Immigrants any
lands which he may acquire from any Province under
the provisions therein contained, or any lands
acquired under "The New Zealand Settlements Act,
1863," or the Acts amending the same, and for
laying out and allotting any lands so acquired
amongst any such Immigrants: And whereas by
"The Immigration and Public Works Act Amend-
ment Act, 1871," it is, among other things, enacted
that so much of the thirty-ninth and forty-first
sections of the said Act as provide that any acts,
matters, or things are to or may be done by the
Governor at the request of the Superintendent of a
Province, is thereby repealed; and it is thereby
enacted that the Governor may exercise all the
powers, and do and perform all the acts, matters and
things in the said sections mentioned, without any
request from any Superintendent of any Province or
any other person or authority:

And whereas, in pursuance of the power and
authority contained in the said first-mentioned Act,
the Governor, at the request of certain Superin-
tendents of Provinces, did make certain regulations
for the introduction of Immigrants from Europe
into those Provinces respectively, on the nomination
of persons resident therein: And whereas it hath
been determined to make other regulations in lieu of
those so made as aforesaid:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in
pursuance and exercise of the powers and autho-
rities vested in me by the hereinbefore in part-
recited Acts, and of every other power and authority
enabling me in that behalf, do hereby make the
regulations set forth in the Schedule hereto for the
introduction of Immigrants from Europe into the
Colony of New Zealand, on the nomination of
persons resident therein.

SCHEDULE.

1. Each applicant will be required to pay, at the
   time of making the application, the sum of £5 for
   each adult (except single women) and £2 10s. for
   each child between the ages of one and twelve years,
   whom it is desired to have introduced into the Colony.
   Infants in arms, under one year, free. This rate
   being only for the ship passage from London (or
   such other port as the ship may sail from) to the
   Colony, the cost of reaching such port of sailing in
   Europe and proceeding up the country to their
   friends after arrival in the Colony, will have to be
   defrayed by the Emigrants themselves.

2. Free passages will be granted to single women
   between the ages of 12 and 35, provided they are
   able to produce proof of good character to the satis-
   faction of the Agent-General in London.

3. In the event of any Emigrants applied for de-
   clining to emigrate, whatever money may have been
   deposited with the Government will be returned to
   the applicants so soon as the Agent-General in Eng-
   land 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 embark-
   ation at the time and port 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. Applicants in the Colony, when writing to the
   persons for whose passages they have applied, should
   distinctly inform them that no part of the passage
   money paid in the Colony will be returned, if they
   omit to write to the Agent-General in London,
   telling him that they decline the passages offered to
   them.

5. The address of the Agent-General in London
   is as follows:-

The Agent-General for New Zealand,
7 Westminster Chambers,
Victoria Street, S.W.,
London.

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

7. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
   the Agent-General in London 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.

8. Forms of Application may be obtained at any
   Post Office in the Colony, but passage moneys can
   only be paid at any Money Order Post Office in the
   Colony.

George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished Order
of Saint Michael and Saint George,
