Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

I, ARTHUR WILLIAM DE BRITO SAVILE, Earl of Liverpool, the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, do hereby, in pursuance of the authority conferred on me by the War Regulations Act, 1914, and its amendments, and of all other powers and authorities enabling me in that behalf, make the following regulations under that Act and the amendments thereof; and do hereby, with the like advice and consent, declare that the regulations hereby made shall be read together with and deemed part of the War Regulations of the tenth day of November, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen.

REGULATIONS.

Enemy Property.

1. WHERE any property is enemy property within the meaning of section 3 of the War Regulations Amendment Act, 1916, by reason of the fact that any interest in that property (whether such interest is that of ownership or any lesser interest) belongs or at any time since the commencement of the present war with Germany has belonged to any person or company of enemy nationality, descent, origin, residence, connections, or associations (other than a person resident in New Zealand or a company incorporated in New Zealand), the Attorney-General may, by order signed and gazetted by him, order and declare that such interest shall be vested in the Public Trustee as the Custodian of Enemy Property.

2. On the gazetting of any such order the interest to which it relates shall thereupon vest in the Public Trustee as the Custodian of Enemy Property in trust to sell the same, and to hold the same and the income thereof, and the proceeds of the sale thereof, in trust for all persons entitled thereto in accordance with their respective rights and titles.

3. When the interest so vested in the Public Trustee is a registered interest in land under the Land Transfer Act, 1915, the District Land Registrar shall, on the request of the Public Trustee, register him as the proprietor of that interest in the same manner as if that interest had been duly transferred to the Public Trustee by the registered proprietor thereof, and the order of the Attorney-General shall be a sufficient warrant for such registration accordingly.

4. The Public Trustee may in such manner and on such terms as he thinks fit sell and transfer any interest so vested in him.

5. The proceeds of any such sale, and all revenues derived by the Public Trustee from any interest so vested in him, shall be disposed of in accordance with the trusts affecting the same in his hands. All such moneys for the time being unexpended by the Public Trustee shall be invested by him in the common fund of the Public Trust Office. No moneys so invested shall, so far as payable to any person to whom payment is unlawful during the present war, bear any interest.

Unlawful Meetings.

6. If the Commissioner of Police is satisfied that any place is about to be used or is likely to be used for the holding of any meeting or meetings having reference to the war, and of a kind injurious to the
