appoint the Lieutenant-Governor, or, if there be no such officer, then any other
person, to be his Deputy during such temporary absence, and in that capacity to
exercise, perform, and execute for and on behalf of the Governor-General during such
absence, but no longer, all such powers and authorities vested in the Governor-
General by the said Letters Patent as in and by such instrument are specified and
limited, but no others : Provided, nevertheless, that by the appointment of a Deputy
as aforesaid the power and authority of the Governor-General shall not be abridged,
altered, or in any way affected otherwise than His Majesty may at any time thereafter think proper to direct:

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, GEORGE VERE ARUNDELL, VISCOUNT GALWAY, 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, G.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 Govern-
ment 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 com-
mence and take effect upon and after the seventh day of July, one thousand nine
hundred and thirty-nine:

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 sixth day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and thirty-nine.

[L.S.]

GALWAY, Governor-General.
