ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the General Post Office, at Wellington, this first day of January, 1901.

Present:
His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS by Orders in Council dated the twenty-eighth day of February, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine, and the twenty-first day of August, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine, and the twenty-fourth day of August, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine, respectively, certain rates of postage were prescribed under the provisions of “The Post Office Act 1881 Amendment Act, 1886,” and “The Post Office (Foreign Parcels) Act, 1888,” for the transmission of parcels from New Zealand, inter alia, to the United Kingdom, to other countries through the United Kingdom, and separately to the Dominion of Canada, and it is expedient to amend such rates of postage as hereinafter set forth:

And whereas by section sixty-two of “The Post Office Act, 1900” (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), it is provided that the Governor may from time to time make regulations prescribing the rates of postage to be paid for the conveyance of New Zealand parcels or foreign parcels, but so that all such rates shall be prepaid in postage-stamps:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred upon him by the said Act, and of all other powers in that behalf enabling him, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby revoke the rates of postage prescribed by the hereinbefore-mentioned Order in Council for the transmission of parcels from New Zealand to the United Kingdom, or to any country through the United Kingdom, or to the Dominion of Canada; and in lieu thereof doth prescribe the rates of postage set forth in the Schedule hereto; and doth order and declare that such rates of postage shall come into force and have effect on and from the date hereof, to wit, the first day of January, one thousand nine hundred and one.
