Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Auckland, 1st April, 1864.

THE following Despatches, with their Enclosures, from Her Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, are published for general information.

WILLIAM FOX.

Downing Street,
22nd January, 1864.

I enclose for your information and for the guidance of the Immigration Officers in the Colony under your government, Copies of an Order in Council, passed on the 7th instant, for preserving order, promoting health and securing cleanliness and ventilation on board Passenger Ships proceeding from the United Kingdom.

This Order revokes the one dated 25th of February, 1856, but re-enacts its provisions with some additions. The principal additions are contained in the 20th Article, which now includes in its prohibition all immoral or indecent acts or conduct, all improper familiarities between the sexes, and all drunkenness and acts of uncleanness.

The only other material alteration is the provision in the 6th Article that the Emigrant Sweepers for the day shall pump water into tanks or cisterns for the use of the water-closet.

It will be the duty of the Immigration Officers in the Colony under your government, whenever any infraction of this Order is brought under their notice, to take the necessary steps for putting it in force by proceeding against the offenders before the proper Tribunal.

I have, &c.,

NEWCASTLE.

Governor Sir George Grey, K.C.B.

And whereas it is expedient to revoke an Order in Council made at a Court held at Buckingham Palace on
