Regulations for the Examination of Engineers.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 21st November, 1898.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers vested in me by the 24th and 25th sections of “The Shipping and Seamen’s Act, 1877,” I do hereby make the following regulations for the conduct of the examinations of engineers; and I do order that these regulations shall come into force on the 1st day of January next, and shall then supersede Regulations Nos. 5 and 35 of the regulations for the examination of engineers which were made on the 15th December, 1896, and published in the New Zealand Gazette, No. 97, of the 17th day of the same month.

WM. HALL-JONES,
Minister having Charge of the Marine Department.

REGULATIONS.

5. The application for examination is to be made on Form Exn. 3, which must be filled up and signed by the candidate. This form can be obtained at any Customhouse or office of an Inspector of Machinery. The Exn. 3, properly filled in, together with the candidate’s indentures of apprenticeship (or certificate from an employer that the candidate has worked as an apprentice for five years), testimonials, and discharges, must be forwarded to the Principal Examiner of Engineers, at the office of the Chief Inspector of Machinery, at Wellington, with an intimation of the place at which the candidate wishes to be examined. When the application is filled up at a place other than Wellington, and it is a matter of urgency that the candidate should be examined before the Principal Examiner can notify the local Examiner, the candidate must present his application and other papers to the local Examiner, who, if they are correct, shall at once forward them to the Principal Examiner, and proceed with the examination of the candidate.

6. The fee for examination must be sent to the Principal Examiner along with the application, and must be in money or postal notes. In any case in which a candidate offers money to any officer other than the proper fee to the Principal Examiner, the candidate so offering money will be regarded to have committed an act of misconduct, and will be rejected, and not allowed to be examined for twelve months, either at the port where the offence was committed or at any other port.
