the neighbouring Colony of Victoria, and there being no Lieutenant-Governor in the Colony of New Zealand, I have deemed it expedient to appoint a Deputy during such temporary absence, with such powers and authorities on my behalf as are hereinafter specified and limited:

Now, therefore, know ye that, for the purposes aforesaid, and in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority vested in me by the hereinbefore in part recited Letters Patent, and of every other power and authority enabling me in that behalf, I, the said WILLIAM FRANCIS DRUMMOND JERVOIS, as such Governor as aforesaid, do, by these presents issued under the Public Seal of the Colony of New Zealand, constitute and appoint Sir JAMES PRENDERGAST, Knight, Chief Justice of the said colony, to be my Deputy during the period of my temporary absence from the Colony of New Zealand, and in that capacity for me and on my behalf to exercise, perform, and execute the powers and authorities vested in me by the said Letters Patent, and particularly to make, sign, execute, do, perform, and exercise all such instruments, acts, powers, duties, and functions as could or might be made, executed, done, performed, or exercised by me in respect of my said office of Governor (whether alone or acting by and with the advice of the Executive Council of the said colony), for the purpose of giving effect to or carrying out the provisions of the several enactments hereinafter mentioned by their Short Titles (including therein all or any Acts amending the same respectively, or that are necessarily read and construed therewith), that is to say,—
