Courts under "The Imprisonment for Debt Abolition
Act, 1874."

ARTHUR GORDON, Governor.

WHEREAS by the eighteenth section of "The
Imprisonment for Debt Abolition Act, 1874"
(hereinafter referred to as "the said Act"), it is en-
acted that in the said Act the term "prescribed"
means, as respects the Resident Magistrates' Courts
and Courts of Petty Sessions and Justices of the
Peace acting under "The Resident Magistrates
Act, 1867," or any Acts amending the same, pre-
scribed by general rules or orders to be made by the
Governor in like manner as he is now authorized
under the said Acts to frame and establish general
rules for the purposes thereof; and it is also by the
said Act provided that general rules and orders may,
as respects the said Courts, Petty Sessions, and Jus-
tices so acting as aforesaid, be made by the Governor
for the purpose of carrying the said Act into effect:

And whereas by the one hundred and thirtieth
section of the last-mentioned Act it is provided that,
in all cases not therein specially provided for, the
Governor may from time to time frame and establish
general rules and orders regulating the practice and
forms of all proceedings in Courts under the said
last-mentioned Act; and that such rules and orders
shall be published in the New Zealand Gazette, and
when so published shall have the force of law:

And whereas by an instrument dated the thirtieth
day of October, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-four, the Governor did make the general
rules and orders and prescribe the fees set forth in
the First and Second Schedules to the said instru-
ment:

And whereas by an instrument dated the eighteenth
day of November, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-eight, the Governor did abolish the twenty-
fifth rule relating to costs and the Second Schedule
to the said instrument, dated the thirtieth day of
October, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
four, and did make other provisions in lieu thereof:

And whereas it is expedient to make further and
additional rules, and also to abolish the rules and
fees made and prescribed on the said eighteenth day
of November, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-eight, and to make other provisions in lieu
thereof:

Now, therefore, I, Arthur Hamilton Gordon, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pur-
suance and exercise of the powers and authorities
aforesaid, do hereby order and prescribe that, from
and after the first day of April, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-one, the rule aforesaid as to costs
contained in the Schedule to the said instrument of
the eighteenth day of November, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-eight, shall be abolished, and
in lieu thereof do hereby make the rules and prescribe
the fees set forth hereunder, and declare that the same
shall be in force from and after the said first day of
April, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one.
