Despatch from the Secretary of State.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 27th July, 1875.
THE following Despatch, with its enclosures, from
Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for
the Colonies, is published for general information.
DANIEL POLLEN.

(No. 35.)
Downing Street, 21st May, 1875.
MY LORD,—I have the honor to transmit to your
Lordship the enclosed Order of Her Majesty in
Council, assenting to the reserved Bill of the Legis-
lature of New Zealand, passed in the year 1874, and
entitled (No. 83) "An Act to provide for the Sur-
render of Fugitive Criminals," a transcript of which
accompanied Sir J. Fergusson's Despatch No. 63, of
the 10th September, 1874.
Her Majesty's Government did not fail to give
their attention to the recommendation of the Attor-
ney-General of the colony to the effect that the
reserved Bill of 1873 should receive Her Majesty's
assent in preference to the later one; but it is still
considered by the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, and by the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, that the Bill of 1874 is preferable, as
being more in conformity with the 17th section of
the Extradition Act of 1870.
I take this opportunity of enclosing a further Order
of Her Majesty in Council, framed in communication
with the Law Officers of the Crown, directing that
the New Zealand Act thus allowed shall have effect
in the colony as if it were part of the Extradition
Act of 1870.
I thought it desirable to consult the Law Officers
in regard to the terms of the Order, as the present
was the first case arising under the Imperial Act.
I have, &c.,
CARNARVON.

Governor the Most Honorable
the Marquis of Normanby, K.C.M.G., &c.

At the Court at Windsor, the 13th day of May,
1875.
Present:
THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY, LORD
PRESIDENT, LORD CHAMBERLAIN, EARL OF DERBY,
MR. SECRETARY CROSS, SIR CHARLES A. MURRAY,
MR. DISRAELI.
WHEREAS by an Act passed in the Session held in
the fifteenth and sixteenth years of Her Majesty's
reign, entitled "An Act to grant a Representative
Constitution to the Colony of New Zealand," it is,
amongst other things, declared that no Bill which
shall be reserved for the signification of Her Ma-
jesty's pleasure thereon shall have any force or
authority within the Colony of New Zealand until
the Governor of the said colony shall signify either
by speech or message to the Legislative Council and
House of Representatives of the said colony, or by
Proclamation, that such Bill has been laid before Her
Majesty in Council, and that Her Majesty has been
pleased to assent to the same:
And whereas a certain Bill passed by the Legis-
lative Council and House of Representatives of the
said colony, entitled "An Act to provide for the Sur-
render of Fugitive Criminals," was presented to the
Officer Administering the Government of the said
colony for Her Majesty's assent: And whereas the
said Bill was reserved by the said Officer for the sig-
nification of Her Majesty's pleasure thereon: And
whereas the said Bill so reserved as aforesaid has
been laid before Her Majesty in Council, and it is
