REGULATIONS for the Introduction of Immigrants into New Zealand on the nomination of persons resident in the Colony:—

1. Each applicant will be required to pay, at the time of making the application, the sum of £5 for each adult (except single women) and £2 0s. for each child between the ages of one and twelve years, whom it is desired to have introduced into the Colony. Infants in arms, under one year free. This rate being only for the ship passage from London (or such other port as the ship may sail from) to the Colony, the cost of reaching such port of sailing in Europe and proceeding up the country to their friends after arrival in the Colony, will have to be defrayed by the Emigrants themselves.

2. Free passages will be granted to single women between the ages of 12 and 35, provided they are able to produce proof of good character to the satisfaction of the Agent-General in London.

3. In the event of any emigrants applied for declining to emigrate, whatever money may have been deposited with the Government will be returned to the applicants so soon as the Agent-General in England shall have apprised the Government thereof; but in the event of any emigrants applied for accepting the offer of a passage in a particular ship, and so, by failing to present themselves for embarkation at the time and port appointed by the Agent-General in England for the sailing of such ship, be left behind, the passage money and passages will be forfeited.

4. Applicants in the Colony, when writing to the persons for whose passages they have applied, should distinctly inform them that no part of the passage money paid in the Colony will be returned, if they omit to write to the Agent-General in London, telling him that they decline the passages offered to them.

5. The address of the Agent-General in London is as follows:—

   The Agent-General for New Zealand,
   7, Westminster Chambers,
   Victoria Street, S.W.,
   London.

6. All the ships employed in this service will be under the provisions of the “Passenger Act.”

7. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Agent-General in London will have power to refuse passages where the intending emigrants are in ill-health, or in any way unfitted, according to his judgment, to undertake the voyage.

8. Forms of Application may be obtained at any Post Office in the Colony, but passage moneys can only be paid at any Money Order Post Office in the Colony.

   Public Works Office,
   Wellington, New Zealand,
   3rd January, 1872.
