it is enacted that every banker in the Colony of New
Zealand shall, at the close of business on Monday in
every week, prepare and make up at each place where
he shall carry on the business of banker in the
Colony, a full and correct account and statement in
writing of the assets and liabilities of such banker at
such place, in the form in the said Act specified, and
that from such weekly accounts and statements there
shall be prepared on the last Monday of each quarter
ending on the last days of March, June, September,
and December, respectively, by every such banker, a
general abstract in writing of the average amount
during such quarter of the assets and liabilities of
every such banker, also in the form in the said Act
specified: And whereas by "The Bankers Returns
Act Amendment Act, 1860," it is also enacted that it
shall be lawful for the Governor, by warrant under
his hand, to be published in the Government Gazette,
from time to time to vary for every or any banker at
every or any place within the Colony the several
days and times provided by the said Act for the
making and preparation of the said accounts and
statements and abstracts respectively: Provided
that such accounts and statements and abstracts
made and prepared in any one year shall not be less
in number than is provided by the said Act: And
whereas it is expedient that the time within which
the quarterly abstracts required to be made under
the said Act should be varied as hereinafter provided :

Now therefore, I, Sir James Fergusson, Baronet,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pur-
suance and exercise of the power and authority
vested in me by the latter in part recited Act, and of
every power and authority enabling me in that behalf,
do hereby vary the time within which the several
persons or bodies corporate carrying on business as
bankers in the Colony of New Zealand shall be
required to make out and deliver the general abstract
required to be made out and delivered by the said
Act and the latter recited Act, by extending the
said time to thirty days from the termination of the
quarter for which such abstract is required to be
made out and delivered, subject, however, to the
provision contained in the lastly in part recited Act.
