At the Government House, at Wellington, this seventh
day of January, 1895.
Present:
His Excellency the Governor in Council.
WHEREAS by “ The Post Office Act, 1881 ” (hereinafter
termed “ the said Act ”), it is enacted that it shall
be lawful for the Governor in Council from time to time
to make, alter, and revoke regulations for the receiving,
despatching, conveying, and delivering of letters: And
whereas by Order in Council dated the fifth day of July, one thou-
sand eight hundred and ninety-two, and published in
the New Zealand Gazette of the seventh day of July, one thou-
sand eight hundred and ninety-two, certain regulations were
made under the said Act for the transmission of correspond-
ence through the post, including, inter alia, the regulation
contained in the First Schedule hereto: And whereas it is
expedient to revoke such last-mentioned regulation so as to
permit of cards other than those issued by the Government
being transmitted through the post as post-cards:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby
revoke the regulation cited in the First Schedule hereto, and
in lieu thereof doth hereby make the regulations set forth in
the Second Schedule hereto, and doth order and declare
that such regulations shall take effect as from the first day
of January, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, and
shall be read with the said regulations of the fifth day of
July, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two, as hereby
varied.

FIRST SCHEDULE.
2. No post-cards other than those issued by the Government,
or private post-cards stamped by the Government under the
special authority of the Postmaster-General, can be used for
the purpose of making a communication through the Post
Office, unless such cards be prepaid the ordinary letter-rate.

SECOND SCHEDULE.
2A. Post-cards (including reply post-cards) may be pre-
pared of plain card by private persons, and shall be prepaid
by means either of adhesive stamps, or stamps affixed at
the time of posting, or by impressed stamps, provided that
such impressed stamps shall have been impressed in the
manner provided by law.
2B. The rates of postage for private post-cards shall be the
rates in force for the prepayment of post-cards, single or
reply, issued to the public by the Postmaster-General.
2C. Private post-cards shall be of the same size and weight
as the post-cards issued by the Postmaster-General. Single
cards for circulation within New Zealand may be entirely
plain. Single post-cards intended for transmission to places
beyond New Zealand shall have printed on the top of the
front or address side the words “ New Zealand Post-card,”
and the reply post-card shall have the same words, with the
additional word “ Reply ” printed immediately underneath
the others, in the same manner as the post-cards furnished
and issued by the Postmaster-General.
2D. All private post-cards not complying with the fore-
going regulations shall be treated and charged for as letters.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
