And whereas I have occasion to be temporarily absent from the said colony for a short period, and, there being no Lieutenant-Governor in the Colony of New Zealand, I have deemed it expedient to appoint a Deputy during such temporary absence, with such powers and authorities on my behalf as are hereinafter mentioned :
