SIR,—I have the honour to enclose herewith copies of a
regulation which I have passed, exempting the Kingdom of
Tonga from the provisions of the Arms Regulations of 1884.
The object of the enclosed regulation is to allow British
subjects to share with persons of other nationalities the
limited and legitimate trade permitted by a law recently
enacted by the Tongan Government.
I have, &c.,
JOHN B. THURSTON.

VICTORIA, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of

A REGULATION (made in the name and on behalf of Her
Britannic Majesty by Her Majesty's High Commissioner
for the Western Pacific, under the provisions of the
Western Pacific Order in Council of 1879) to amend Regu-
lation No. 1 of 1884, intituled "A Regulation to prohibit
the Supply of Arms, Ammunition, and Explosive Sub-
stances to Natives of the Western Pacific Islands."
(L.S.)
JOHN B. THURSTON.
12th May, 1888.

WHEREAS by an ordinance of His Majesty George Tubou,
King of Tonga, dated the 28th day of May, 1887, provision is
made for the restriction and regulation of the sale of firearms
and ammunition in the Kingdom of Tonga: And whereas
such ordinance is sufficient to prevent any breach of the
peace arising in Tonga from the sale of arms and ammuni-
tion: And whereas it is expedient to amend Regulation No. 1
of 1884 by exempting the Kingdom of Tonga from the operation
of the said regulation: Now, therefore, I, under the power
and authority vested in me as Her Majesty's High Commis-
sioner for the Western Pacific, revoke the said Regulation
No. 1 of 1884 in so far as it extends to the said Kingdom of
Tonga, and declare that the said regulation shall be hereafter
read as if the words "Friendly Islands" in the fourth sub-
section of section 1 did not appear therein.
This regulation shall come into force on the 1st day of
June, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and eighty-eight, and may be cited as "The Arms Regulation
Amendment Regulation, 1888."
By command.
WILFRED COLLET,
Secretary to the High Commissioner.
