High Commissioner's Office, Western Pacific,
Suva, Fiji, 5th April, 1893.

MY LORD,—I have the honour to forward herewith copy of
a regulation which I have passed, with the approval of the
Secretary of State, to replace the Arms Regulation of 1884.

Under this regulation the amount of firearms and ammu-
nition permitted to be carried on board a British vessel is
increased when there are European passengers on board,
and the carriage as cargo of arms and ammunition con-
signed to, and intended only for the use of, non-native per-
sons is declared to be one of the "ordinary legal purposes"
of a British vessel.

I have, &c.,

H. S. BERKELEY.

His Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Glasgow,
Governor of New Zealand.
