THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.
Council of the 30th December last, under the Mer-
chant Shipping Acts, modifying a previous Order in
Council of the 29th of February, 1868, exempting
from remeasurement in this country Danish vessels,
the certificates of Danish nationality and registry of
which are dated on and after the 1st of October,
1867.

It appears that the Board of Trade did not furnish
this department, as in the present instance, with a
copy of the Order in Council of the 29th of February,
1868, for transmission to the various Colonial Govern-
ments; I therefore enclose copies of that order,
which (if not already published in the colony) should
be published at the same time as the amending order.

I have, &c.,

M. E. HICKS BEACH.
The Officer Administering the Government
of New Zealand.

At the Court at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, the
30th day of December, 1878.

Present:

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN
COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Merchant Shipping Act Amend-
ment Act, 1862," it is enacted that, "whenever it is
made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules con-
cerning the measurement of tonnage of merchant
ships for the time being in force under the principal
Act have been adopted by the Government of any
foreign country, and are in force in that country, it
shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by Order in Council.
to direct that the ships of such foreign country shall
be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their
Certificates of Registry or other national papers, and
thereupon it shall no longer be necessary for such
ships to be remeasured in any port or place in Her
Majesty's Dominions, but such ships shall be deemed
to be of the tonnage denoted in their Certificates of
Registry or other papers, in the same manner, to the
same extent, and for the same purposes, in, to, and
for which the tonnage denoted in the Certificates of
Registry of British ships is to be deemed the ton-
nage of such ships:"

And whereas by "The Merchant Shipping Act,
1876," it is enacted that, when "Her Majesty has
power under 'The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854,' or
any Act passed or hereafter to be passed amending
the same, to make an Order in Council, it shall be
lawful for Her Majesty from time to time to revoke,
alter, or add to any order so made:"

And whereas by an Order in Council dated 29th
day of February, 1868, Her Majesty, to whom it was
made to appear that the said rules for the measure-
ment of the tonnage of merchant ships has been
adopted by the Government of His Majesty the
King of Denmark, was pleased to direct that the
ships of Denmark, the certificates of Danish nation-
ality and registry of which were dated on and after
the 1st October, 1867, should be deemed to be of the
tonnage denoted in the said certificates of Danish
nationality and registry:

And whereas certain modifications have been re-
cently made in the rules concerning the measurement
of tonnage of merchant ships in force in Denmark,
whereby, from and after the 1st day of October,
1878, the allowance for engine room in certain steam-
ships will be estimated in a mode differing from that
in force in this country:

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her
Majesty that it is desirable to alter the said Order in
Council, so far as the same applies or relates to the
mode of estimating the allowance for engine room in
Danish steamships; Her Majesty is hereby pleased,
by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to
direct, as regards Danish steamships, that if the
owner or master of any merchant ship belonging to
the said Kingdom of Denmark, and measured after
the said 1st day of October, 1878, which is propelled
by steam or any other power requiring engine room,
desires the allowance for engine room in his ship to
be estimated under the rules for engine-room
measurement and allowance applicable to British
ships, instead of under the Danish rule, the engine
room shall be measured and the allowance calculated
according to the British rules.
