WHEREAS by "The Public Revenues Act, 1867,"
it is, among other things, enacted that it shall
be lawful for the Governor in Council to make regu-
lations, not inconsistent with the provisions of the

for the return of full and sufficient accounts relating
to all such moneys, and for the guidance of all per-
sons in the Public Service concerned in the receipt,
custody, and expenditure thereof; and all such regu-
lations shall be published in the New Zealand Gazette,
and shall come into force upon a day to be named
therein: And whereas by "The Public Revenues
Act, 1868," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor in Council from time to time to alter or
rescind any regulations made under the authority of
"The Public Revenues Act, 1867," or of the now
reciting Act, and to make other regulations not
inconsistent with "The Public Revenues Act, 1867,"
in the place thereof, and that all such regulations
shall be published in the New Zealand Gazette, and
shall come into force upon a day to be named therein:
And whereas it is expedient that a portion of one of
the regulations which were made under the provisions
of the hereinbefore recited Acts, by Order in Council
dated the second day of December, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-eight, should be rescinded:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Administrator
of the Government of the Colony of New Zealand,
by and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the said colony, and in pursuance and
exercise of the powers and authorities vested in him

by the hereinbefore in part recited Acts, or one of
them, doth hereby rescind that portion of the regu-
lation numbered 37, and contained in the Schedule
to the said Order in Council hereinafter set forth,
that is to say,—"Such accounts must also be authenti-
cated by the signature (opposite to the total) of the
person making the claim, and in no case are they to
be so signed by an agent except under a power of
attorney, to be produced either in the original or
else by a properly certified copy, and the date of
such deed is to be noted on the account:"

And lastly, in further pursuance and exercise of
all powers and authorities vested in him for that
purpose under the hereinbefore in part recited Acts,
and with the like advice and consent as aforesaid, his
said Excellency doth hereby order that this present
Order in Council shall come into force upon the
eighth day of January, one thousand eight hun-
dred and seventy-five.
