Governor, by Order in Council, to make regulations
for the transmission and delivery of all despatches,
messages, and communications by means of any such
line, and in like manner to fix and determine the
fees, rates, or dues to be demanded and received for
the transmission of any such despatch, message, or
communication, and for the delivery thereof, respec-
tively, and the modes and times of payment, and to
regulate the conduct, management, working and
maintenance of any such Telegraph Line, and any such
fees, rates, dues or regulations from time to time to

And whereas by an Order in Council duly made
and issued, bearing date the eighteenth day of
September, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
nine, the Governor in Council did, in pursuance of
the said recited power and authority, make certain
regulations for the transmission of any such de-
spatches, messages, or communications by means of
any line of Telegraph which had been or hereafter
should be established or purchased under the powers
conferred by the said Act: And whereas it is
expedient to revoke certain of the above-mentioned

lieu thereof:

Now therefore, His Excellency Sir George Fer-
guson Bowen, the Governor of the Colony of New
Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers
vested in him by the hereinbefore recited Act, doth,
with the advice and consent of the Executive Council
of New Zealand, revoke the regulations numbered

for the Transmission of Telegrams contained in the

   order of priority:-

vernment Telegrams having precedence.
(2.) Telegrams relative to the arrest of criminals
or persons accused, or the discovery or pre-
vention of crime.
(3.) Telegrams relating to cases of pressing
emergency, such as accident, sickness, or
death, may be transmitted in priority to any

Subject to the above exceptions, all telegrams will

   any one company or individual, when several tele-
   grams are presented for transmission about the same
   time, and any one of these telegrams is of considerable
   length, then no officer shall transmit more than two
   hundred words of any such telegram at one time.
