At the Government House, at Wellington, this thirtieth day of June, 1885.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by “The Electric Lines Act, 1884” (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), it is enacted that the Governor in Council may from time to time make, alter, and revoke regulations for, inter alia, prescribing and defining classes and kinds of notices or other documents which shall be included in the term “notice,” as defined by section thirty-two of the said Act, and providing for the service of such notices by service of telegraph copies of the same, and prescribing the manner of such service, and for certifying by telegraph officers that such service has been effected, and prescribing the fees to be paid for the service of such notices, and for certificates and other matters to be done in relation thereto: And whereas it appears expedient to make the regulations hereinafter set forth:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority vested in him by the said Act, and by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby make the following regulations, and doth declare that such regulations shall come into force on the first day of July next; and doth further order that these regulations shall supersede and take the place of any regulations now in force which may in any way be repugnant hereto.

REGULATIONS.

1. In these regulations the following words shall have the meanings hereby respectively assigned to them, unless the context requires a different construction:—

“The said Act” means “The Electric Lines Act, 1884:”

“Notice” shall include all notices or documents or processes issued out of the Supreme Court, District Court, or Court of Bankruptcy, which may be ordered by such Court to be served by telegraph, or any notice which any such Court or a Judge thereof may authorize to be so served, and any summonses by an Official Assignee or Deputy Assignee issued under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Acts for the time being in force:

“Transmitting officer” means the officer of the Telegraph Department who receives any notice for transmission by telegraph, and whose name and address have been gazetted in terms of section 36 of the said Act:

“Receiving officer” means the officer of the Telegraph Department to whom any notice is transmitted for service, and whose name and address have been gazetted in terms of section 36 of the said Act.

2. On the first receipt of any notice in the telegraph office for service in terms of section 34 of the said Act, such notice shall forthwith be transmitted to the Receiving Officer at the telegraph office in the place where the same is required to be served, and on receipt of such notice by such receiving officer he shall retransmit such message to the transmitting officer for verification.

3. On such notice being properly verified, the Receiving Officer shall forthwith cause the same to be copied in duplicate on foolscap paper, and one of such copies shall be served on the person to whom the notice is addressed, the other of the said copies shall be retained in the office.

4. Upon such service being effected, the person serving such notice shall indorse upon the duplicate copy so retained a declaration of service in the form or to the effect contained in Form No. 1 in the Schedule hereto.

5. Service shall in all cases be personal, and, where such personal service cannot be effected, a special indorsement to the effect set forth in Form No. 2 in the Schedule hereto shall be made upon the duplicate copy so retained as aforesaid: Provided that, before such personal service is dispensed with, proof shall first be given, to the satisfaction of the receiving officer, that reasonable efforts have been made to effect such personal service. Such receiving officer shall certify the fact at foot of any such special indorsement as aforesaid in the manner set forth in the Form No. 2A of the Schedule hereto.

6. Immediately after effecting service of any such notice, the receiving officer by whom such service has been effected shall notify the fact of such service to the transmitting officer by whom such notice was originally received, or shall notify that service has not been effected, as the case may be, and shall also forward by post the duplicate copy of the notice with the indorsement thereon to the transmitting officer, by whom the same shall thereafter be retained.

7. On being satisfied that service has or has not been effected, the receiving officer shall indorse on the original notice deposited with him for transmission a certificate to the effect contained in Form No. 3 or Form No. 4 set forth in the Schedule hereto, as the case may be. The ordinary telegraph rates shall be charged for transmitting all notices, but the receiving officer may demand from the person presenting any notice for service a sum, by way of deposit, sufficient to cover the actual cost of delivery; the minimum charge for delivery shall be 5s. Should the amount then paid be found insufficient to cover such expenses, the receiving officer shall be entitled to demand payment of any balance outstanding prior to delivery of his certificate; but, if the amount of such deposit should exceed the actual expenses attending the service, or attempted service, of any such
