HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section two of “The Cook and other Islands Government Act, 1901” (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), it is provided that the Governor, by Order in Council, may from time to time direct that any of the laws in force in the said Islands at the commencement of the said Act may be modified or repealed: And whereas “The Labourers Emigration Restriction Act, 1900,” of the Cook Islands Parliament contains a recital to the effect that it has been the custom for masters of vessels to enlist Natives of the Cook Islands for the purpose of labour on islands outside the Group, and that it is advisable that this custom should continue: And whereas a doubt has been raised that the effect of this recital is to continue the Pacific Islanders Protection Acts, 1872 and 1875 (Imperial), in force in the said Islands: And whereas it is expedient to remove such doubt:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred by the said Act, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby direct that the said Pacific Islanders Protection Acts, 1872 and 1875, be repealed in so far as respects the said Islands, and the same are hereby repealed accordingly.
