To Governor of New Zealand, Wellington.

It has been discovered that my Proclamation re Federal Council was dated before Governor's assent to Federal Council Act was given in Victoria. Another Proclamation will be substituted.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the Act of the Imperial Parliament of the 48th and 49th Vict., c. 60, intituled "An Act to constitute a Federal Council of Australasia," it is declared to be expedient to constitute a Federal Council of Australasia, for the purpose of dealing with such matters of common Australasian interest in respect to which united action is desirable as can be dealt with without unduly interfering with the management of the internal affairs of the several colonies by their respective Legislatures: And whereas it is by the said Act enacted that a Federal Council shall be thereby constituted, and called the Federal Council of Australasia, but that the said Act should not come into operation in respect of any colony until the Legislature of such colony should have passed an Act or Ordinance declaring that the same shall be in force therein, and appointing a day on and from which such operation shall take effect, nor until four colonies at the least should have passed such Act or Ordinance: And whereas the said Act has come into operation in respect of the Colonies of Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, Western Australia, and Fiji: And whereas it is by the said Act further enacted that the first session of the Federal Council shall be held at Hobart, in the Colony of Tasmania, and that the Council shall be summoned and prorogued by the Governor of the colony in which the session shall be held, and shall be so summoned and prorogued by Proclamation published in the Government Gazette of each of the colonies in the said Act referred to in respect to which the said Act is in operation, and shall meet at such time and at such place as shall be named in the Proclamation;

Now, therefore, I, Sir George Cumine Strahan, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief as aforesaid, in pursuance of the said Act, and by virtue of the power thereby conferred upon me, do, by this my Proclamation, summon the Federal Council of Australasia as constituted by the said Act to meet at the Parliament Buildings in Hobart, in Tasmania aforesaid, on Monday, the twenty-fifth day of January, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty-six, at the hour of eleven in the forenoon, for the despatch of business.

Given under my hand, at Hobart, in Tasmania aforesaid, this twelfth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five.
