on the 7th day of April, 1888, on the proposal of the Oamaru
Harbour Board to issue a loan for the sum of £40,000,

the Board existing on the 23rd December, 1887, not being un-
matured debentures or mortgages, and to repair and strengthen
the breakwater; such loan to be secured upon a rate made

The number of votes given for the proposal exceeding the
number given against it by more than one-fourth of the

any employment under the Government of any foreign State
may be accepted by any person who is in receipt of any sum
granted by Parliament for the pay, half-pay, or retired pay of
officers of Her Majesty’s naval or military forces, regular or
auxiliary, or otherwise, for past service in such forces, or who
has commuted the right to receive the same or has retired
with a gratuity, and otherwise, as in the said Act men-
tioned:

And whereas the general principle adopted by Parliament
has been that where any person receiving non-effective pay
on account of service to the State accepts fresh State em-
ployment, the State should benefit by some saving upon the
