And whereas by the Deputy Governor’s Powers Act, 1912, all the powers and authorities conferred on or vested in the Governor-General by any Act or law in force in New Zealand, as well as the powers and authorities conferred upon or vested in the Governor-General by the said Letters Patent, shall and may be exercised by the person appointed by the Governor-General to be his Deputy:

And whereas I have occasion to visit the Cook Islands, Samoa, and other Pacific Islands, and in so doing shall be temporarily absent from the seat of Government and from the Dominion for a short period, and, there being no Lieutenant-Governor in the Dominion, I have deemed it expedient to appoint a Deputy during such temporary absence, with such powers and authorities on my behalf as are hereinafter mentioned:

Now, therefore, know ye that, for the purposes aforesaid, and in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority vested in me by the hereinbefore-in-part-recited Letters Patent, and of every other power and authority enabling me in that behalf, I, CHARLES, BARON BLEDISLOE, as such Governor-General as aforesaid, do, by these presents issued under the Public Seal of the Dominion of New Zealand, constitute and appoint the Right Honourable Sir MICHAEL MYERS, K.C.M.G., Chief Justice of the said Dominion, to be my Deputy during the period of my temporary absence as aforesaid—that is to say, from the date of my departure from the seat of Government or from the Dominion until the date of my return there—and in that capacity for me and on my behalf to exercise, perform, and execute all the powers and authorities vested in me as such Governor-General by the said Letters Patent or by any Act or law in force in the Dominion.

And I hereby declare that the power and authority hereby conferred shall commence and take effect upon and after the eleventh day of April, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-three.

And I expressly direct that my said Deputy shall, in the exercise of all or any of the said powers and authorities, conform to and abide by the requirements of any law, statute, or regulation in force in the Dominion respecting the same; and also to the hereinbefore-in-part-recited Letters Patent and the Royal Instructions accompanying the same so far as they are applicable.

In witness whereof I have caused these presents to be passed under the Public Seal of the Dominion of New Zealand, and have hereunto set my hand, this tenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-three.

[L.S.]

BLEDISLOE, Governor-General.

Price 6d.]
By Authority: W. A. G. SKINNER, Government Printer, Wellington.
