export of hides less than forty-five pounds in weight and of calf-skins
is prohibited to any destination other than the United Kingdom or the
Commonwealth of Australia, except with the consent of the Minister of
Customs:

And whereas, in the opinion of the Governor, it is necessary in the
public interest that the export of hides and of calf-skins should be abso-
lutely prohibited:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New
Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred on him by
section forty-seven of the Customs Act, 1913, and section twenty-four of
the Regulation of Trade and Commerce Act, 1914, and acting by and with
the advice and consent of the Executive Council of that Dominion, doth
hereby amend the hereinbefore-recited Order in Council of the tenth day
of April, one thousand nine hundred and sixteen:—

(a.) By omitting from the Second Schedule thereto the reference to
hides of forty-five pounds weight or more; and

(b.) By revoking the Fourth Schedule thereto.

And, with the like advice and consent, and in further pursuance of
the authority conferred by the said sections, doth hereby prohibit the
export of hides and calf-skins to any destination; except that in the
case of hides submitted for sale to the Government and rejected by the
Government valuer as not being of good marketable quality or in good
marketable condition, the Minister of Customs may grant a permit to
export such hides to British possessions only. Such permit will only
be granted subject to the rejected hides remaining, up to the time of
shipment, under the supervision of Government officers, or such other
person or persons as may be appointed by the Government for the
purpose.
