G. GREY, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by “The Customs Regulation Act,
1858,” it is enacted that the Governor may
from time to time by proclamation make provision
for the examination of exported gold, not being gold
coin, and respecting the mode of packing and securing
the same, and may prohibit the exportation thereof,
except from specified ports, and generally may regulate
and restrict the export of gold other than gold coin,
and further, that the Governor may from time to time
regulate and restrict the carriage of gold other than
gold coin coastwise, from one port of the Colony to
another:

And whereas by “The Gold Duty Act, 1858,”
provision is made for levying a duty upon gold
exported from New Zealand:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the Governor of
the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise
of the power and authority so vested in me as aforesaid, do hereby proclaim and declare that no gold
other than gold coin shall hereafter be shipped from
any part of the said Colony, either for exportation or
to be carried coastwise from one port to another in the
said Colony, except gold upon which the said export
duty in and by “The Gold Duty Act, 1858,” aforesaid, authorised to be levied, shall have been duly
levied by and paid to the Collector of Customs for the
port from which the same gold shall be first shipped;
