8. A medal forfeited by an officer or a Volunteer under the provisions of paragraph seven may be restored to him by His Excellency the Governor.

9. When a long-service medal has been lost, and it is desired to replace it, a declaration must be made before a Magistrate, stating the circumstances under which the loss occurred, and the rank, name, and corps of the officer or Volunteer to whom the medal belonged. This declaration will be forwarded to the Under-Secretary of Defence, through the usual channel of correspondence in the case of an officer or Volunteer who is still serving, and direct in the case of one who has retired. The medal will be replaced, on payment, if the explanation as to its loss is considered satisfactory.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Right Honourable Uchter John Mark, Earl of Ranfurly; Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George; Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty’s Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies; and issued under the Seal of the said Colony, at the Government House, at Christchurch, this sixteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight.
