THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 147

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.

REGULATIONS FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF IMMI-
GRANTS INTO NEW ZEALAND, ON THE NOMINA-
TION OF PERSONS RESIDENT THEREIN.

1. The Immigration Regulations and Forms of
   Application may be obtained at any Post Office or
   Immigration Office in the Colony; but applications
   and payments for passages are only to be made to
   Money Order Post Offices or to the Immigration
   Officer at the capital town of each Province or
   County.

2. Any person resident in the Colony, desirous of
   nominating relatives or friends in Europe for passages
   to New Zealand, may do so by paying at any Money
   Order Post Office or to the Immigration Officers afore-
   said the sum of £5 for each adult (except single
   women) under 50 years of age, and £2 10s. for each
   child under 12 years of age. Infants under one year,
   free. In certain cases, bills will be taken in lieu of
   cash payments, and passages will be provided for
   persons over fifty years of age. (See clause 6, secs.
   1 and 3.)

Widows with families are, as a rule, not eligible,
and applications for passages in their behalf are only
to be made to the Immigration Officers aforesaid.
(See clause 6, sec. 4.)

3. Free passages will be granted to girls of 12
   years of age and upwards accompanying their parents,
   and to single women between the ages of 16 and 35
   provided they are able to produce proof of good cha-
   racter to the satisfaction of the Agent-General in
   London.

4. Every single woman will be required, before em-
   barkation, to pay to the Agent-General 25s., and
   every other adult 20s. (and children in proportion),
   for bedding, blankets, and mess utensils.

5. In the event of any emigrant applied for declin-
   ing to emigrate, whatever money or bills may have
   been deposited with the Government will be returned
   to the applicant so soon as the Agent-General shall
   have apprised the Government thereof; but in the
   event of any emigrant applied for accepting the offer
   of a passage in a particular ship, and so, by failing to
   present himself for embarkation at the time and port
   appointed by the Agent-General for the sailing of
   such ship, be left behind, the passage money will be
   forfeited.

6. The Immigration Officer at the capital town in
   each Province or County (and he only) will receive
   applications as under :-

7. From persons who may wish to give bills
   for the passage money of their relatives or
   friends, instead of paying cash, as provided for
   in clause 1. The amount of the bills to be
   taken will be 50 per cent. over the amount
   above fixed to be paid in cash, and the bills
   will become due 30 days after the arrival of the
   immigrants sent for.

8. From persons who desire to leave to their
   agents in Europe the nomination of emigrants
   of any particular class. The terms will be
   the same as if nominated in the Colony.

9. From persons whose friends are over 50 years
   of age.

10. From persons whose friends are widows with
    children.

11. The above rates being only for the passage
    from the port of embarkation to the Colony, the
    cost of conveyance to such port and to the residence
    of their friends after arrival in the Colony, must be
    defrayed by the emigrants themselves.

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

13. It is to be distinctly understood that, notwith-
    standing applications may have been granted at
    Money Order Post Offices, the Immigration Officers
    aforesaid are empowered to object to any of the emi-
    grants so nominated being sent out, either from un-
    suitability of occupation or from any other cause;
    and 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.

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

Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-
Admiral of the same, at the Government
