of all annuities under the provisions of the

ment of sums of money at death or otherwise
under the provisions of the said Act; and
such tables respectively shall be valid and

force; and to revoke all or any of such tables,
and to direct tho use of other tables approved
as aforesaid.
To discontinue, after notice in the New Zealand

shall seem fit, the granting of any annuities
or of sums of money payable at death or
otherwise, under the provisions of the said
Act, if he shall think it advisable so to do.
To fix the maximum and minimum limits for the
amounts of the several annuities, and pay-
ments on death and other payments to be
contracted for under the said Act.
To regulate the mode and form of making con-
tracts under the said Act, and the precedent con-

tingencies which may be declared by the
regulations to be special risks.
To prescribe the mode of proving the age and
identity and the existence or death of persons,
and the mode of paying sums of money pay-
able under the said Act, and the management
of the accounts required to be kept.
To prescribe beforehand the terms upon which
premiums paid under contracts for payments
to be made at death or otherwise shall be
returned to any person beneficially interested
in the contract, and to determine beforehand
the cases or classes of cases in which no pre-
mium shall be returned.
To make rules generally for the purpose of
