suance 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 following Rule and Regulation,
that is to say: The Industrial Insurance Regulations
contained in the Second Schedule to the Order in
Council dated 11th November, 1874, and Table A, as
approved by the Governor in Council on 18th August,
1874, shall apply, anything to the contrary in such Re-

FORSTER GORING,

Appointing place for Licensing Court.

NORMANBY, Governor.

WHEREAS by "The Licensing Act 1873 Amend-
ment Act, 1874," it is enacted that every
Licensing Court shall hold its meetings in the Court
House used as a Court House by the Resident Magis-
trate or Court of Petty Sessions in the Licensing
District, or if there be no such Court House in such
district, then the Court shall hold its meetings at
such place as may from time to time be appointed
by the Governor: And whereas there are no Court
Houses in the Districts of Mangapiko and Rangiaohia:
And whereas by a warrant dated the thirtieth day of
October, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
four, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the
same date, the Resident Magistrate's Court House,
Cambridge, was appointed to be the place at which
the Licensing Courts for the said Licensing Districts
of Mangapiko and Rangiaohia should hold their meet-
ings: And whereas it is expedient to appoint some
other place in lieu thereof:

Now therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
power and authority vested in me in this behalf, do
hereby appoint

The Resident Magistrate's Court House, Alexandra,
to be the place at which the Licensing Courts for
the said Licensing Districts of Mangapiko and
Rangiaohia shall hold their meetings, instead of
the said Resident Magistrate's Court House, Cam-
bridge.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the
Most Honorable George Augustus Con-
stantine, Marquis of Normanby, Earl of
Mulgrave, Viscount Normanby, and Baron
Mulgrave of Mulgrave, all in the County
of York, in the Peerage of the United
Kingdom; and Baron Mulgrave of New
Ross, in the County of Wexford, in the
Peerage of Ireland; a Member of Her
Majesty's Most Honorable Privy Coun-
cil; Knight Commander of the Most
Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and
Saint George; Governor and Commander-
in-Chief in and over Her Majesty's
Colony of New Zealand and its Depend-
encies, and Vice-Admiral of the same; at
the Government House at Wellington,
this twenty-ninth day of January, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-five.

Despatches from the Secretary of State.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 29th January, 1875.

THE following despatches from Her Majesty's
Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies,
with their enclosures, are published for general in-
formation.

WILLIAM H. REYNOLDS,
(in the absence of the Colonial Secretary).

[CIRCULAR.]

Downing Street, 24th September, 1874.

SIR,-I transmit to you, for insertion in the volume
of Colonial Regulations, amended sections respecting
the intermediate custody in the colonies of soldiers
sentenced to penal servitude by a General Court-
Martial, to be substituted for those enclosed in my
Circular Despatch of the 9th March last.

The alterations now made, at the suggestion of the
Judge Advocate General, consist of the addition of
the words "or the prisoner's destination," after
the word England, in Rule 418, and a new form of
Warrant to be substituted for that in the Appendix
to the Colonial Regulations, at page 142.

I have, &c.,
CARNARVON.

The Officer Administering
the Government of New Zealand.

417. The 19th section of "The Mutiny Act, 1873,"
     provides for the case of offenders who are to suffer
     penal servitude in virtue of the sentence of any
     Court-Martial holden elsewhere than in the United
     Kingdom. The Chief Justice, or other Judge, in any
     part of Her Majesty's foreign dominions where
     such offender may be, on notice from the Officer in
     Command, or in his absence from the Adjutant-
     General, is to make order for the intermediate custody
     and penal servitude of the offender; and the Gover-
     nor, on receiving notice of such order, is to cause
     such offender either to be removed, or to undergo his
     sentence in the colony, in obedience to the direc-
     tions for the removal and treatment of convicts which
     shall from time to time be transmitted from Her
     Majesty through one of Her Principal Secretaries of
     State to such colony; and the offender is thereupon
     to be dealt with in the colony in which he has been
     sentenced, or to which he has been removed, as if he
     had been sentenced to be imprisoned with hard
     labour by a Court of competent jurisdiction in such
     colony: And elsewhere out of Her Majesty's
     dominions, the Officer Commanding shall have power
     to make an order in writing for the penal servitude
     or intermediate custody of such offender, under
     which the offender may be imprisoned and kept to
     hard labour, and otherwise dealt with in the same
     manner as if he had been sentenced to be imprisoned
     with hard labour by the judgment of a Court of com-
     petent jurisdiction in the place of his intermediate
     custody or punishment.

418. A Form of Order by the Chief Justice or
     other Judge, approved by the Law Officers of the
     Crown, is inserted in the Appendix (see page 142),
     and an order in this form must be sent to England,
     or to the prisoner's destination, in the same convey-
     ance with the prisoner, and a duplicate by the first
     opportunity.

419. Her Majesty's Government will provide for
     the charge of removal to this country, or to any
     colony or place, of such military convicts as may be
     sentenced to penal servitude by Military Courts-
     Martial, provided the convicts have belonged to the
     General Establishment of the Army, and not to local
     corps raised for the service of any particular colony.
