Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of New Zealand, in exercise of the said recited power and
authority, and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council thereof, doth hereby alter the rates of
postage fixed to be paid within the colony, and doth proclaim and declare that the postage payable within

that such postage shall in all cases be paid at the time such letters, newspapers, and packets are delivered
