MICHAEL MYERS,
Administrator of the Government of New Zealand

To the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF for the time being of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred by the Air Force Act, 1937, and the regulations thereunder, I, Michael Myers, the Administrator of the Government of New Zealand, do hereby authorize you from time to time as occasion may require to convene general courts-martial for the trial of every person for the time being under or within the territorial limits of your command who is subject to the said Act and regulations who is tried for 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 hereby further authorize you to confirm the proceedings of any such courts-martial and to cause any sentence thereof to be put into execution 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 been sentenced to suffer death, or penal servitude, you shall in such case, and also in the case of any other general court-martial, whether convened by you or under the delegated authority hereinafter mentioned in which you shall think fit so to do, transmit the proceedings to the Solicitor-General of New Zealand in order that he may forward them to the Minister of Defence, who will lay the same before me for my decision thereupon:

And I do further authorize you to direct your Warrant to any officer under your command not below the rank of Group Captain giving him a general authority to convene general courts-martial for the trial of any person subject to the said Act and regulations 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 the Warrant directed by you to such officer, and also to exercise in respect of the proceedings of any courts-martial the power of confirming the findings or sentences thereof according to law, or, if you should so think fit, of directing him to reserve for your confirmation the proceedings of all or any courts-martial, in which case you are hereby authorized to exercise in respect of the proceedings so reserved all the powers of a confirming officer, but limited as aforesaid in accordance with the said Act and regulations:

And that there may not in any case be a failure of justice from the want of a proper person authorized to act as Judge-Advocate, I do further empower you to nominate and appoint, and to delegate to any officer duly authorized to convene a general court-martial the power of appointing, a fit person from time to time for executing the office of Judge-Advocate at any court-martial for the more orderly proceedings of the same:

And for executing the several powers, matters, and things herein expressed, this shall be to you, and all others whom it may concern, a sufficient Warrant and authority.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Administrator of the Government of New Zealand, this 20th day of May, 1946.
