PROCLAMATION.

By His Excellency Colonel THOMAS
GORE BROWNE, Companion of the
Most Honorable Order of the Bath,
Governor and Commander-in-
Chief in and over Her Majesty's
Colony of New Zealand and its
Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral
of the same, &c., &c.

WHEREAS by an Ordinance enacted by
the Lieutenant-Governor of New Zea-
land with the advice and consent of the Legis-
lative Council thereof, in the sixth session of
the said Council, intituled "An Ordinance to
empower the Governor of New Zealand to re-
gulate the Importation and Sale of Arms,
Gunpowder, and other warlike stores," it is
enacted that it shall be lawful for His Excel-
lency the Governor, from time to time as to
him shall seem meet, by Proclamation, to pro-
hibit throughout the Colony or within any
district thereof (to be in such Proclamation
defined) the Importation or Sale, or both the
Importation and Sale of Arms, Gunpowder,
and other warlike stores; and it is enacted
that it shall also be lawful for His Excellency
the Governor, from time to time as to him
shall seem meet, by Proclamation, to make
provision for regulating and restricting
throughout the Colony or within any district
thereof (to be in such Proclamation defined)
the Importation or Sale or both the Importa-
tion and Sale of Arms, Gunpowder, and other
warlike stores.

And whereas under and by virtue of a Pro-
clamation made and issued by me at Auckland,
on the twenty-fifth day of June, One thousand
eight hundred and fifty-seven, divers regula-
tions and restrictions are in force respecting
the Importation and Sale of warlike stores.

And whereas certain Aboriginal Natives of
New Zealand, resident in the province of
Taranaki, are in arms against the Queen's So-
vereign Authority, and it is therefore ex-
pedient that the restrictions upon the Impor-
tation and Sale of warlike Stores be tempo-
rarily increased.

Now, therefore, I, the Governor, in exercise
of the power vested in me in that behalf by
the everior and the Act hereinbefore howsoever,
do hereby prohibit throughout the Colony of
New Zealand the Importation, Sale, and other
disposition of Arms, Gunpowder, and other
warlike Stores, except in manner and subject
to the conditions hereinafter mentioned or re-
ferred to, (that is to say) :—

From and after the day of the date hereof,
Arms, Gunpowder, or other warlike Stores
shall be imported, landed, sold, or otherwise
disposed of in the Colony of New Zealand, only
under License in writing first obtained for
that purpose under the hand of the Governor,
or of some person thereunto authorised by the
Governor only at the place in the manner
and subject to the conditions (if any) specified
in such License.

Provided always, that nothing in this Pro-
clamation shall be construed to apply to the
Importation and landing of supplies for the
use of Her Majesty's Land and Sea Forces.

Given under my hand, and issued
under the Public Seal of the
Colony, at Auckland, this
twenty-sixth day of March, in
the year of Our Lord, One
thousand eight hundred and
sixty.
T. GORE BROWNE.

By His Excellency's command,
E. W. STAFFORD.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
