HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

FOR better securing the public safety during the present war, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in exercise of the authority conferred upon him by the War Regulations Act, 1914, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of that Dominion, doth hereby make the following regulations under the said Act; and doth declare that they shall come into operation on the fifteenth day of November, one thousand nine hundred and eighteen.

REGULATIONS.

NOTWITHSTANDING anything to the contrary in the War Regulations of the 26th day of February, 1917 (relative to declarations required from persons landing in New Zealand from places beyond the seas), any person who arrives in New Zealand from any place beyond the seas as the master or a member of the crew of the vessel in which he arrives may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, whether before or after he has landed from that vessel, be required by any officer of Customs or of Police to make and deliver to that officer a declaration in the form set out in the Schedule to the said regulations, with the substitution when necessary of the term “Officer of Police” for the term “Officer of Customs” where it appears in that form.
Every person who refuses or fails to make or deliver such a declaration in conformity with any such requirement, or who makes any such declaration which is in any respect wilfully false or misleading, shall be guilty of an offence, and shall be liable under the War Regulations Act, 1914, accordingly.
Clause 1 of the War Regulations of the 10th day of October, 1917, relative to the safety of ships and cargoes is hereby amended by repealing the definition of “ship,” and substituting the following definition:—

“‘Ship’ means any description of vessel used in navigation, whether seagoing or not, other than a vessel propelled exclusively by oars; and also includes any lighter, barge, boat, or other vessel used in connection with the lading or unloading of a ship as so defined.”

J. F. ANDREWS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"
