[WITH SUPPLEMENT.]
V. R.
WHEREAS great and sore calamities have lately befallen this Province both by sea and land:
And Whereas a desire has been expressed to me on behalf of the various religious denominations throughout the Province, that a day should be specially set apart for public humiliation and prayer:
Notice is hereby given that Thursday, the 20th day of February instant, will be so set apart accordingly, on which day it is earnestly hoped that the whole body of the people will unite in humbling themselves under the mighty hand of God, and in supplication that He may be pleased to send such weather as may permit the fruits of the earth to be gathered in.

Superintendent.

PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, several instances have occurred wherein the Chinese have been made the subject of persecution by the European and other residents of the gold-fields—in one case a gross outrage having been committed by a number of persons on a single Chinaman, and in another threats having been used to induce Chinese miners to remove from the locality they had selected in which to carry out their operations:
Notice is hereby given, that the Chinese having come to Otago under a promise made by successive Superintendents that those who came would be fully protected, the Provincial Government is determined to fulfil that promise, and the Police are strictly enjoined to keep a protective watch over the Chinese population in their respective districts, and in case of their being made aware of any injury having been illegally inflicted on any of the Chinese population, to lose no time in bringing the perpetrators thereof to justice.
The Superintendent relies upon the assistance of all right-thinking, well-disposed people to aid him in affording that protection to the Chinese, which persons residing within a British Settlement have the right to rely on.
James Macandrew,
Superintendent.
