WHEREAS I am empowered by Warrant of His Excellency
the Governor-General bearing date 16th day of July, 1945,
to direct my Warrant to any officer of the Air Force not below the
rank of Squadron Leader, giving him a general authority to convene
general courts-martial for the trial of any persons subject to the
Air Force Act, 1937, and the regulations made thereunder, and also
to exercise (subject to the provisions of the said Warrant) in respect
of the proceedings of such courts-martial the power of confirming
the findings and sentences thereof according to law, or of directing
him to reserve for my confirmation the proceedings of all or any
such courts-martial:

Now, therefore, by virtue of the said Warrant, I do hereby
authorize and empower you from time to time as occasion may
require to convene general courts-martial for the trial of any person
who is subject to the Air Force Act, 1937, and the regulations made
thereunder, and who shall be charged with any offence for which
such person may be tried by court-martial, whether such offence
shall have been committed before or after the date of this Warrant:
And I do hereby empower you in respect of the proceedings
of any court-martial to confirm the findings and sentences thereof
according to law:

Provided always that if by sentence of any general court-
martial a commissioned officer has been sentenced to suffer death,
penal servitude, or imprisonment, or to be cashiered or dismissed
from the Air Force, or an airman has by any court-martial been
sentenced to suffer death or penal servitude, you shall in such cases,
and also in the case of any other court-martial in which you shall
think fit so to do, transmit the proceedings of any such court-
martial to me for my confirmation or other decision thereon.

And, for so doing, this shall be to you, as to all others whom
it may concern, a sufficient Warrant.

Given under my hand at Wellington, this 24th day of October,
1945.
