And whereas by the one hundred and thirty-sixth 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 instrument:

Now, therefore, I, William Francis Drummond Jervois, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred by the hereinbefore recited Acts, do hereby order and prescribe that, from and after the tenth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, the scale of fees contained in the said recited instrument of the twenty-eighth day of February, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one, shall be abolished, and in lieu thereof I do hereby prescribe the fees set forth hereunder, and declare that the same shall be in force from and after the tenth day of June aforesaid.
