ONSLow, Governor.

WHEREAS by “The Imprisonment for Debt Abolition Act, 1874” (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), it is enacted that in the said Act the term “prescribed” means, as respects Resident Magistrates’ Courts and Courts of Petty Sessions and Justices of the Peace acting under “The Resident Magistrates Act, 1867,” or any Acts amending the same, prescribed by general rules or orders to be made by the Governor in like manner as he is now authorised under the said Acts to frame and establish general rules for the purposes thereof; and it is also by the said Act provided that general rules and orders may, as respects the said Courts, Petty Sessions, and Justices so acting as aforesaid, be made by the Governor for the purpose of carrying the said Act into effect:

And whereas by “The Resident Magistrates Act, 1867,” 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 may from time to time revoke or alter the same; and that such rules and orders, and all alterations thereof, shall be published in the New Zealand Gazette, and when so published shall have the force of law:

And whereas by warrants bearing date the thirteenth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, and the nineteenth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand did make and prescribe certain rules and forms for Resident Magistrates’ Courts, under the authority of the said Acts, and it is expedient that the said rules and forms should be revoked, and that the rules and forms hereinafter mentioned should be made and prescribed, in lieu thereof:
