waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the
British Crown, as a station or place of resort for
any warlike purpose, or for the purpose of obtaining
any facilities of warlike equipment; and no ship of
war of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted
to sail out of or leave any port, roadstead, or waters
subject to British jurisdiction, from which any vessel
of the other belligerent (whether the same shall be a
ship of war or a merchant ship) shall have previously
departed, until after the expiration of at least
twenty-four hours from the departure of such last-
mentioned vessel beyond the territorial jurisdiction
of Her Majesty.

2. If any ship of war of either belligerent shall,
   after the time when this Order shall be first notified
   and put in force in the United Kingdom, the Isle of
   Man, and the Channel Islands, and in the several
   Colonies and foreign possessions and dependencies of
   Her Majesty respectively, enter any port, roadstead,
   or waters belonging to Her Majesty, either in the
   United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or the Channel
   Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's Colonies or
   foreign possessions or dependencies, such vessel shall
   be required to depart and to put to sea within twenty-
   four hours after her entrance into such port, road-
   stead, or waters, except in case of stress of weather,
   or of her requiring provisions or things necessary for
   the subsistence of her crew, or repairs; in either of
   which cases the authorities of the port, or of the
   nearest port (as the case may be), shall require her to
   put to sea as soon as possible after the expiration of
   such period of twenty-four hours, without permitting
   her to take in supplies beyond what may be necessary
   for her immediate use; and no such vessel which
   may have been allowed to remain within British
   waters for the purpose of repair shall continue in any
   such port, roadstead, or waters for a longer period
   than twenty-four hours after her necessary repairs
   shall have been completed. Provided, nevertheless,
   that in all cases in which there shall be any vessel
   (whether ships of war or merchant ships) of the said
   belligerent parties in the same port, roadstead, or
   waters within the territorial jurisdiction of Her
   Majesty, there shall be an interval of not less than
   twenty-four hours between the departure therefrom
   of any such vessel (whether a ship of war or merchant
   ship) of the one belligerent, and the subsequent
   departure therefrom of any ship of war of the other
   belligerent; and the time hereby limited for the
   departure of such ships of war respectively shall
   always, in case of necessity, be extended so far as
   may be requisite for giving effect to this proviso, but
   no further or otherwise.

3. No ship of war of either belligerent shall here-
   after be permitted, while in any port, roadstead, or
   waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of Her
   Majesty, to take in any supplies, except provisions
   and such other things as may be requisite for the
   subsistence of her crew, and except so much coal
   only as may be sufficient to carry such vessel to the
   nearest port of her own country, or to some nearer
   destination, and no coal shall again be supplied to
   any such ship of war in the same or any other port,
   roadstead, or waters subject to the territorial juris-
   diction of Her Majesty, without special permission,
   until after the expiration of three months from the
   time when such coal may have been last supplied to
   her within British waters as aforesaid.

4. Armed ships of either party are interdicted
   from carrying prizes made by them into the ports,
   harbours, roadsteads, or waters of the United
   Kingdom, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, or
   any of Her Majesty's Colonies or possessions abroad.

I have, &c.,

NORMANBY, Governor.

WHEREAS Her Majesty, being fully determined
to observe the duties of neutrality during the
existing state of war between the Emperor of all the
Russias and the Emperor of the Ottomans, and being
moreover resolved to prevent, as far as possible, the use
of Her Majesty's harbours, ports, and coasts, and the
waters within Her Majesty's territorial jurisdiction,
in aid of the warlike purposes of either belligerent,
has commanded that the Rules set forth in the
Schedule hereto are to be treated and enforced as
Her Majesty's orders and directions, and that the
said Rules shall be put in force in the United King-
dom, and in the Channel Islands, on and after the
fifth day of May last, and in Her Majesty's terri-
tories and possessions beyond the seas, six days
after the day when the Governor or other chief
authority of each of such territories or possessions
respectively shall have notified and published the
same, stating in such notification that the said Rules
are to be obeyed by all persons within the same
territories and possessions:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, do hereby notify and publish the
said Rules, and do state that the said Rules are to be
obeyed by all persons within New Zealand.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the
Governor, this twenty-third day of July,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
seven.

SCHEDULE.

1. During the continuance of the present state of
   war, all ships of war of either belligerent are pro-
   hibited from making use of any port or roadstead
   in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or
   the Channel Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's
   Colonies or foreign possessions or dependencies, or
   of any waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction
   of the British Crown, as a station or place of resort
   for any warlike purpose, or for the purpose of
   obtaining any facilities of warlike equipment; and
   no ship of war of either belligerent shall hereafter
   be permitted to sail out of or leave any port, road-
   stead, or waters subject to British jurisdiction,
   from which any vessel of the other belligerent
   (whether the same shall be a ship of war or a
   merchant ship) shall have previously departed, until
   after the expiration of at least twenty-four hours
   from the departure of such last-mentioned vessel
   beyond the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty.

2. If any ship of war of either belligerent shall,
   after the time when this Order shall be first notified
   and put in force in the United Kingdom, the Isle of
   Man, and the Channel Islands, and in the several
   Colonies and foreign possessions and dependencies of
   Her Majesty respectively, enter any port, roadstead,
   or waters belonging to Her Majesty, either in the
   United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or the Channel
   Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's Colonies or
   foreign possessions or dependencies, such vessel shall
   be required to depart and to put to sea within twenty-
   four hours after her entrance into such port, road-
   stead, or waters, except in case of stress of weather,
   or of her requiring provisions or things necessary for
   the subsistence of her crew, or repairs; in either of
   which cases the authorities of the port, or of the
   nearest port (as the case may be), shall require her to
   put to sea as soon as possible after the expiration of
   such period of twenty-four hours, without permitting
   her to take in supplies beyond what may be necessary
   for her immediate use; and no such vessel which
   may have been allowed to remain within British
