At the Government House, at Wellington, this

Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS under the provisions of "The Immi-
gration and Public Works Act, 1870," and
the several Acts amending the same, and other Acts,
certain lines of railway have been constructed by the
Governor within the Colony of New Zealand: And
whereas under the provisions of the said hereinbefore
mentioned Acts, and the enactments incorporated
therewith, the Governor in Council is empowered to
make such by-laws, rules, and regulations as he may
think fit, that is to say, —

For the purpose of regulating the conduct of the
officers and servants employed on any railway
constructed under the provisions of the said
Acts:

And whereas it is expedient that such by-laws,
rules, and regulations should be made in respect of
the said lines of railway:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor of
New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council thereof, and in exercise and pur-
suance of all powers and authorities enabling him in
this behalf, doth hereby make the By-laws, Rules,
and Regulations contained in the instrument annexed
to be the by-laws, rules, and regulations to be observed
by all persons employed in the workshops of the
railways under the control of the General Govern-
ment.

BY-LAWS, RULES, AND REGULATIONS, TO BE OR-
SERVED BY ALL PERSONS EMPLOYED IN THE
WORKSHOPS OF THE RAILWAYS UNDER THE CON-
TROL OF THE GOVERNMENT OF NEW ZEALAND.

1. Every workman who is employed is engaged
   subject to his conforming and submitting to the
   following regulations and fines in case of mis-
   conduct:-

2. The engagement in all cases is by the week, and
   any workman before leaving the employ of the
   Government will be required to give one week's
   notice of his intention to leave; failing to do so, he
   will forfeit such wages as may be due to him. One
   week's notice will be given previous to any workman
   being discharged, except in case of misconduct.

3. The working time shall consist of forty-eight
   (48) hours per week—from 8 o'clock in the morning
   until 5 o'clock in the evening—allowing one hour.
   (from 12 to 1) for dinner.

4. A bell will be sounded to summon workmen to
   and from their work at the times stated above, and
   any workman arriving up to a quarter of an hour after
   the sounding of the bell will have one half-hour de-
   ducted from his time, and one hour deducted up to
   the half-hour, when the gates will be closed, and no
   workman will be admitted until the next starting
   time.

5. All workmen must enter and leave the works
   through the Timekeeper's Lodge. The Timekeeper
   will go through the shops every day to take from the
   workmen the time made during the day. For that
   purpose each one will be provided with a book in
   which the clerk will enter the exact time spent on
   each job.

6. Every workman will have a number assigned
   him, and on entering the works in the morning or
   after meals he will be required to take his book out
   of the rack. Any workman passing into the works and
   neglecting to do so will be considered as absent, and
   will not be paid for any time he may have made.
