Present:

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE R. J. SEDDON PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by “The Post Office Act, 1900” (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to make, and from time to time as he shall see occasion to alter, regulations for superintending, inspecting, and regulating the mode of keeping the accounts of depositors in the Post-Office Savings-Bank, and with respect to the making of deposits, and to the withdrawal of deposits and interest, and to all other matters incidental to the carrying of the above-recited Act into execution: And whereas, by Order in Council dated the second day of December, one thousand eight hundred and ninety, certain regulations were made under the authority of “The Post-Office Savings-Bank Act, 1867”: And whereas clause twenty-six of the said regulations, as amended by Order in Council dated the twelfth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven, provides, inter alia, for the acceptance of deposits from such non-mercantile societies as the Governor in Council may from time to time declare to be societies to which this rule extends: And whereas it is expedient to allow societies duly registered under “The Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1900,” and the Acts thereby repealed, and “The Trades Union Act, 1878,” to deposit their funds without restriction as to amount in the Post-Office Savings-Bank:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities for that purpose vested in him by the said Act, and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in this behalf, doth hereby, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, order and declare that the trustees of any society legally constituted and registered under “The Trades Union Act, 1878,” or “The Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1900,” or the Acts repealed by the last-named Act, may, when duly authorised by their rules or constitution, deposit their funds without restriction as to amount in the Post-Office Savings-Bank; and interest on such accounts will not be restricted, but will be allowed on every complete pound in deposit: Provided always that a copy of the rules of the society, and of every amendment thereof made from time to time, be forwarded by post to the Postmaster-General, with the names and addresses of the trustees or officers for the time being.

J. F. ANDREWS,
Acting-Clerk of the Executive Council.
