ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this sixth day
of December, 1887.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the two hundred and thirty-first section
of “The Companies Act, 1882,” it is, among other
things, enacted that the Judges of the Supreme Court, or
any three of them, of whom the Chief Justice shall be one,
may, as often as circumstances require, make such rules
concerning the mode of proceeding to be had for winding up
a company in the Court as may from time to time seem
necessary: And whereas by an instrument bearing date the
twenty-eighth day of November, one thousand eight hundred
and eighty-seven, three Judges of the Supreme Court, of
whom the Chief Justice was one, made certain rules num-
bered consecutively from one to seventy-five, both inclusive,
and the several schedules thereto, under the provisions of the
hereinbefore in part recited enactment: And whereas by the
thirty-first section of “The Supreme Court Act, 1882,” it is,
among other things, enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor in Council, with the concurrence of the Judges
of the Supreme Court, or any two of them, to make such
additional rules touching the practice and procedure of the
Court in all causes and matters within the jurisdiction of the
Court as may be deemed advisable: And whereas it hath
been represented that certain of the rules so made under the
provisions of “The Companies Act, 1882,” may be beyond
the powers contained in that Act, and that it is expedient
the said rules and the schedules thereto should be made
under “The Supreme Court Act, 1882;”

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the herein-
before in part recited section of “The Supreme Court Act,
1882,” by and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council, and with the concurrence of His Honour the Chief
Justice and His Honour Mr. Justice Gillies (two of the
Judges of the Supreme Court of the said colony), doth
hereby direct that the said rules and the said schedules
thereto so made under “The Companies Act, 1882,” as
aforesaid are and shall be additional rules to the code of
rules mentioned in the thirty-first section of “The Supreme
Court Act, 1882.”

FORSTER GORING,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

necessary: Now, therefore, we, the undersigned, being the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Zealand, and
