PROCLAMATION.

By His Honor William Cargill,
Esquire, Superintendent of the
Province of Otago.

WHEREAS by an Ordinance passed by the Superintendent and Provincial Council of the Province of Otago, in the seventeenth year of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria and in the first session of the said Provincial Council, intituled “An Ordinance to establish and regulate Ferries,” it is among other things enacted that “It shall be lawful for the Superintendent to authorise Ferries to be established and erected at convenient places on the rivers, creeks, and lakes within the Province of Otago, for the conveyance of passengers, animals, and goods across the same;” and whereas by section 3 of the “Ferries Ordinance Amendment Ordinance, 1856,” passed by the said Superintendent and Provincial Council, it is enacted that “Every Ferry shall be deemed to be a Public Ferry within the meaning of this Ordinance, which shall be proclaimed to be such by the Superintendent, with the advice and consent of his Executive Council, by proclamation to be inserted in the Provincial Government Gazette;” and whereas it is expedient that the Ferry established on the Oreti River about one mile above the Waikivi junction, and known by the name of the Oreti Ferry, should be proclaimed a public Ferry: Now therefore I, the said Superintendent, with the advice and consent of my Executive Council, do hereby, in virtue of the powers vested in me by the said Ordinances, proclaim the said Ferry, called the Oreti Ferry, to be a Public Ferry within the meaning of the before recited “Ferries Ordinance Amendment Ordinance, 1856.”

Given under my hand, and issued under the public seal of the Province of Otago, at Government House, Dunedin, this twenty-second day of December, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty-eight.

W. Cargill,
Superintendent of the Province of Otago.

God Save The Queen!
