GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

Delegation of certain of the Governor's Powers under
"Gold Fields Act, 1866," to County Chairman of
Westland.

(L.S.) G. F. BOWEN, Governor.

W HEREAS by "The Gold Fields Act, 1866," it
is enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor in Council, under his hand and the Public
Seal of the Colony, from time to time to delegate to
the Superintendent of any Province, or such other
person as the Governor may deem fit, all or any of
the powers vested in the Governor or the Governor
in Council by the Act aforesaid, except the powers
conferred by sections twenty-two, forty, forty-eight,
sixty, ninety-six, and one hundred and seven of the
said Act, subject or not to any limitations or restric-
tions as he may think fit, and in like manner to alter
or revoke any such powers: And whereas by "The
Gold Fields Act Amendment Act, 1869," certain
alterations in the said first recited Act were made,
and certain additional powers were given to the
Governor and to the Governor in Council, and it
was by the said Act now in recital enacted that the
said "Gold Fields Act Amendment Act, 1869,"
should be read and construed in connection with and
as part of the said "Gold Fields Act, 1866:" And
whereas by "The County of Westland Act, 1868,"
it is enacted that in any Act of the General
Assembly (except certain Acts, not including the
Gold Fields Acts) the word "Province" shall in-
clude County of Westland, and the word "Superin-
tendent" shall include, with regard to such County,
any person whom the Governor may from time to
time appoint to perform within such County those
duties, and exercise those powers, under any such
Act which might, if such duties or powers had to
be performed or exercised within a Province, be
exercised or performed by the Superintendent of
such Province: And whereas, by certain Orders in
Council bearing date the twenty-seventh day of
January, in the year of our Lord 1871, His Excel-
lency Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the Governor
of New Zealand, did delegate to Henry Hermann
Lahman, Esq., certain powers in him vested under the
Gold Fields Acts:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance
and in exercise of the power and authority vested in
me as aforesaid, with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of the said Colony, do hereby
revoke the delegation of powers to Henry Hermann
Lahman, Esq., made in and by the said Orders in
Council of the twenty-seventh day of January, 1871,
and, with the like advice and consent, do hereby
delegate to

HENRY LEE ROBINSON, Esq.,

Chairman of the County Council of Westland, all the
powers vested in the Governor and the Governor in
Council under "The Gold Fields Act, 1866," and
"The Gold Fields Act Amendment Act, 1869," ex-
cept the powers conferred by sections twenty-two,
forty, forty-eight, sixty, ninety-six, and one hundred
and seven of "The Gold Fields Act, 1866," to have,

hold, and exercise within the said County the said
powers hereby given to the said Henry Lee Robinson,
so long as he shall continue and remain Chairman of
the said County Council and no longer: Provided
always that copies of all rules and regulations made
under the said delegation shall be forthwith trans-
mitted to the Colonial Secretary, in order that the
same may be laid before the General Assembly, in
accordance with the provisions of the one hundred
and tenth clause of "The Gold Fields Act, 1866."

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, at the Government
House, at Wellington; and issued under
the Public Seal of the said Colony, this
twenty-first day of January, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-three.

to County Chairman of Westland.

G. F. BOWEN, Governor.

W HEREAS by "The Constabulary Force Ordi-
nance Amendment Act, 1868," it is enacted
that it shall be lawful for the Governor, from time to
time, to delegate to any person or persons all or any
of the powers conferred on or vested in the Governor
by an Ordinance of the Lieutenant-Governor of New
Zealand, with the advice and consent of the Legis-
lative Council thereof, intituled "An Ordinance to
provide for the Establishment and Maintenance of a
Constabulary Force," and to restrict any such dele-
gation so as to enable the person or persons named
therein to exercise the powers aforesaid only within
any Province, County, or other division of the Colony,
to be specified and described in such delegation:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exer-
cise of the powers and authorities in that behalf
vested in me, do hereby delegate to

Chairman of the County Council of the County of

lishment and Maintenance of a Constabulary Force;"
and I do hereby restrict this delegation so as to

powers aforesaid only within the County of West-
land, as defined in "The County of Westland Act,
1868."
