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 con-
duct 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 pur-
poses, and for the introduction into and settlement in
such Province of Immigrants, and for selling as spe-
cial settlements for any such Immigrants any lands which
he may acquire from any Province under the provisions
therein contained, or any lands required 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 Pro-
vince, is thereby repealed; and it is thereby enacted that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 sec-
tions mentioned, without any request from any Super-
intendent 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 intro-
duction of Immigrants from Europe into those Pro-
vinces respectively, on the nomination of persons
resident therein: And whereas it hath been deter-
mined 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.

   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 afore-

   women) under 50 years of age, and £2 10s. for each
   child under 12 years of age. Infants under one year,

   ing to emigrate, whatever money or bills may have

   event of any emigrant applied for accepting the offer of
   a passage in a particular ship, and so, by failing to pre-
   sent 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 for-
   feited.
