By “The Registration of Births Extension Act, 1884,” the provisions of the second section of “The Registration of Births Act Amendment Act, 1882,” are re-enacted, and extend and apply to the later Act, which passed on the 18th October, 1884.

They are as follow:—

“It shall be lawful for the Registrar-General to register the birth of any child born in the colony previous to the period of twelve months before the date of the passing of this Act, but whose birth has not previously been registered: Provided—

“(a.) That satisfactory evidence on oath, and such other proof as he may deem necessary of the fact, place, and time of birth, and of the particulars of the parents, shall be sent to the Registrar-General within twelve months from the date of the coming into operation of this Act;

“(b.) That, on application to have such birth registered, a fee of one pound shall be paid to the Registrar-General.

“The particulars of the birth and of the nature of the evidence produced shall be entered by the Registrar-General in a separate book, which shall be kept by him for that purpose; the form in which the particulars are to be registered shall be prescribed by the Registrar-General.”
