Order prohibiting the Importation into the Cook and Northern Islands of certain Perfumed Spirits and Perfumery except under Conditions.

PLUNKET, Governor.

WHEREAS by section thirteen, subsection two, of “The Cook and other Islands Government Act, 1901,” it is provided that the Governor may from time to time, by Warrant or Order, prohibit, either absolutely or subject to such conditions as he thinks fit, the importation into the said Islands of arms or other munitions of war, intoxicating liquors, opium, or any other article of any kind which in his opinion is likely to be injurious to the inhabitants thereof; and by subsection three of the said section thirteen it is further provided that the Governor may impose penalties for the breach of any such Warrant or Order, and may make provision for the recovery of any such penalty by forfeiture of the ship or goods, or otherwise: And whereas in the opinion of the Governor the importation of certain perfumed spirits and perfumery into the Cook and Northern Islands except under conditions is likely to be injurious to the inhabitants thereof by reason of their using the same as drink of an intoxicating nature :

Now, therefore, I. William Lee, Baron Plunket, the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities in me vested by the said Act, and of every other power and authority enabling me in this behalf, do hereby order that, from and after the date of the publication of this Order in the Cook Islands Gazette, the importation of the following perfumed spirits or perfumery—to wit, Florida-water, eau-de-Cologne, lavender-water, and bay-rum, or any colourable imitation thereof respectively—into the Cook and Northern Islands shall be prohibited except subject to the following conditions :—

1. Any person desiring to import any of the said perfumed spirits or perfumery shall apply in writing to the Collector of Customs at Rarotonga for permission so to do, and such application shall state the amount of such perfumed spirits or perfumery proposed to be imported. The said Collector of Customs may thereupon, if he thinks fit, give permission in writing for such importation.

2. All perfumed spirits or perfumery imported pursuant to such permission shall be imported only at Rarotonga, and in separate packages addressed to the importer (being the person so applying for permission to import) through the said Collector of Customs.

3. Perfumed spirits or perfumery so imported may, as the said Collector of Customs thinks expedient, either be delivered to the importer or be stored in the King's bond or some other place of safe custody under the control of the said Collector of Customs for delivery to the importer from time to time in such quantities as the said Collector of Customs thinks fit: Provided that delivery shall not be given until all duties and charges payable to the Crown have been duly paid.

4. Every person or his agent importing perfumed spirits or perfumery in accordance with this Order, and every person selling such perfumed spirits or perfumery, shall keep a full and true account of all such perfumed spirits or perfumery sold by him, showing the date when and the person to whom such perfumed spirits or perfumery were sold. Such account shall be open for inspection by the said Collector of Customs at any time.
