THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

(4) For the purposes of these regulations, any document printed or
published for sale or distribution, along with any copies of any
periodical or of any issue thereof, shall be deemed to be part of that
periodical.

2. (1) If the Attorney-General is satisfied that any printing-press
   has been used for printing any subversive statement and has reason
   to suspect that it is likely to be used for printing further subversive
   statements, he may order the seizure of the printing-press.

(2) Where an order is made under this regulation for the seizure
of any printing-press, any constable, with such assistance as may
be required, may at any time enter any premises to search for the
printing-press, and may seize, take, and carry away or render
inoperative the printing-press and all the types and other articles
belonging thereto.

3. (1) If the Attorney-General is satisfied that any subversive
   statement has been published in any periodical and has reason to
   suspect that further subversive statements are likely to be published
   therein, he may order that the periodical cease publication, and may
   give or cause to be given notice of the order to the proprietor, editor,
   printer, or publisher of the periodical.

(2) No person to whom is given or deemed to be given a notice
of an order under this regulation in respect of any periodical shall
print, publish, or prepare for printing or publication, and no other
person shall knowingly print, publish, or prepare for printing or
publication, any copy of the periodical or of any issue thereof.

(3) A notice given under this regulation to the proprietor, editor,
printer, or publisher of a periodical shall be deemed to be given to
all of them.

(4) Any notice under this regulation shall be sufficient if addressed
to the proprietor, editor, printer, or publisher of a periodical by
description of his position and the name or a commonly accepted
name of the periodical of which he is proprietor, editor, printer, or
publisher without the addition of his personal name.

(5) Any notice under this regulation shall be sufficiently given if
left at the premises where the periodical is usually printed or
published with some person appearing for the time being to have
the management thereof.

(6) For the purposes of this regulation a periodical shall be deemed
to preserve the same identity through the succeeding issues thereof
so long as it continues to have the same proprietor or the same
editor or the same printer or the same publisher, notwithstanding
changes in any of the other persons concerned in these capacities,
and notwithstanding any change in title, price, format, name, intervals
of publication, or place of publication, and accordingly any order or
notice under this regulation shall continue to have effect notwith-
standing any such change as aforesaid.

4. (1) If the Attorney-General is satisfied that any person has
   published or been concerned in the publication of any subversive
   statements in any periodical and has reason to suspect that that
   person is likely to publish or be concerned in the publication of
   further subversive statements in a periodical or periodicals, he may
   order that during such period as may be specified in the order that
   person shall not publish or be concerned in publishing any periodical
   in New Zealand.

(2) Every person who acts in contravention of any order made
under this regulation commits an offence against the principal regu-
lations.

5. Any order made by the Attorney-General under these regulations
   may be at any time in like manner varied or revoked.

6. (1) Any person who is affected by any order made by the
   Attorney-General under these regulations may appeal against the order
   to a Judge of the Supreme Court, whose decision shall be final.

(2) Every appeal under this regulation shall be made by notice of
appeal filed in the Supreme Court. A copy of the notice of appeal
shall be served on the Attorney-General and upon such other persons
as the Judge may direct.

(3) Upon any appeal under this section the Judge may confirm,
modify, or revoke the order appealed from, but no order shall be
revoked unless the Judge is satisfied that the acts which the order
was intended to prevent are not likely to be committed.
