WHEREAS by “The Sea-fisheries Act, 1894” (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), it is, among other things, enacted that the Governor in Council may from time to time make regulations (which shall have general force and effect throughout the colony, or particular force and effect only in any waters and places specified therein) for prescribing, among other things, a close season for seals, and for extending any close season so prescribed:

And whereas by Order in Council dated the twenty-first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, the months of January, February, March, April, May,

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

IN pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in him by “The Fisheries Conservation Act, 1884,” and its amendments, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby make the following regulations for the Wellington Acclimatisation District and the waters thereof; and doth hereby declare that these regulations shall, as from the date of the publication thereof in the New Zealand Gazette, supersede all regulations for the said district at variance therewith, and such regulations are hereby revoked.
