WHEREAS by the fifth section of "The Govern-

enacted that the Governor shall have power, by
Order in Council, from time to time to do (inter

To direct the use of tables approved from time
to time by him for determining the values
of all annuities under the provisions of the
said Act, and of tables so approved for pay-
ment of sums of money at death or otherwise
under the provisions of the said Act; and
such tables respectively shall be valid and
effectual so long as the same shall remain in
force; and to revoke all or any of such tables,
and to direct the use of other tables approved
as aforesaid.
To discontinue, after notice in the New Zealand
Gazette in such form and manner as to him
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
conditions relating thereto in respect of medi-
cal certificates, and of extra rates of premium
or fines in case of badness of lives or other
contingencies 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
carrying the said Act into effect, and to im-
pose penalties not exceeding twenty pounds
for breach of such rules.

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Colony of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of
the powers and authorities vested in him by the said
fifth section of the said Act, and all other powers and
authorities in this behalf vested in him, and by and
with the advice and consent of the Executive Council
of the said colony, doth hereby make and prescribe
the Rules and Regulations set forth in the First
Schedule hereto.

And in further exercise and pursuance of the said
powers and authorities as aforesaid, and with such
advice and consent as aforesaid, His Excellency the
Governor as aforesaid doth, for the purposes of the
said Act and the said Regulations, approve of the
table set forth in Second Schedule hereto; to be
called "The Religious Ministers Pension Table,"
and doth direct the use of such table as aforesaid,
under and for the purposes of the said Act and
Regulations.
