WHEREAS by “The Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870,” it is among other things enacted that the Governor may, at the request of the Superintendent of any Province, from time to time make regulations (as therein mentioned) for the conduct of immigration under the said Act into such Province, and for the nomination of Immigrants by persons resident therein, and for the distribution of funds provided by the said Act for immigration purposes, and for the introduction into and settlement in such Province of Immigrants, and for selling as special settlements for any such Immigrants any lands which he may acquire from any Province under the provisions therein contained, or any lands acquired under “The New Zealand Settlements Act, 1863,” or the Acts amending the same, and for laying out and allotting any lands so acquired amongst any such Immigrants;

And whereas by “The Immigration and Public Works Act Amendment Act, 1871,” it is among other things enacted that so much of the thirty-ninth and forty-first sections of the said Act as provide that any acts, matters, or things are to or may be done by the Governor at the request of the Superintendent of a Province, is thereby repealed; and it is thereby enacted that the Governor may exercise all the powers, and do and perform all the acts, matters, and things in the said sections mentioned, without any request from any Superintendent of any Province or any other person in authority;

And whereas, in pursuance of the power and authority contained in the said first-mentioned Act, the Governor, at the request of certain Superintendents of Provinces, did make certain Regulations for the introduction of Immigrants from Europe into those Provinces respectively, on the nomination of persons resident therein: And whereas it hath been determined to make other Regulations in lieu of those so made as aforesaid;

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities vested in me by the hereinbefore in part-recited Acts, and of every other power and authority enabling me in that behalf, do hereby make the regulations set forth in the Schedule hereto for the introduction of Immigrants from Europe into the Colony of New Zealand, on the nomination of persons resident therein.

SCHEDULE.

REGULATIONS FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF IMMIGRANTS INTO NEW ZEALAND, ON THE NOMINATION OF PERSONS RESIDENT THEREIN.

1. The Immigration Regulations and Forms of Application may be obtained at any Post Office or Immigration Office in the Colony; but applications and payments for passages are only to be made to Money Order Post Offices, or to the Immigration Officer at the capital town of each Province or County.

2. Any person resident in the Colony, desirous of nominating relatives or friends in Europe for passages to New Zealand, may do so by paying at any Money Order Post Office or to the Immigration Officers aforesaid the sum of £5 for each adult (except single women) under 50 years of age, and £2 10s. for each child under 12 years of age. Infants under one year, free. In certain cases, bills will be taken in lieu of cash payments, and passages will be provided for persons over fifty years of age. (See clause 6, sections 1 and 3.)

Widows with families are, as a rule, not eligible, and applications for passages in their behalf are only to be made to the Immigration Officers aforesaid. (See clause 6, see. 4.)

3. Free passages will be granted to girls of 12 years of age and upwards accompanying their parents, and to single women between the ages of 16 and 35 provided they are able to produce proof of good character to the satisfaction of the Agent-General in London.

4. Every single woman will be required, before embarkation, to pay to the Agent-General 25s., and every other adult 20s. (and children in proportion), for bedding, blankets, and mess utensils.

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

6. The Immigration Officer at the capital town in each Province or County (and he only) will receive applications as under:—

   1. From persons who may wish to give bills for the passage money of their relatives or friends, instead of paying cash, as provided for in clause 1. The amount of the bills to be taken will be 50 per cent. over the amount above fixed to be paid in cash, and the bills will become due 30 days after the arrival of the immigrants sent for.

   2. From persons who desire to leave to their agents in Europe the nomination of emigrants of any particular class. The terms will be the same as if nominated in the Colony.

   3. From persons whose friends are over 50 years of age.

   4. From persons whose friends are widows with children.

7. The above rates being only for the passage from the port of embarkation to the Colony, the cost of conveyance from the residence of the emigrant to the port of embarkation will be at his own expense.
