A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS it has pleased Almighty God to restore
to health His Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales from dangerous sickness, and it is fitting that
Her Majesty’s dutiful and loyal subjects in the Colony
of New Zealand should manifest their sympathy with
Her Majesty and the Royal Family, and should unite
with the rest of Her Majesty’s subjects in testifying
their thankfulness to the Almighty for His merciful
interposition in sparing the life of His Royal Highness:
Now therefore, I, the Governor of New Zealand, in
exercise of all and every the powers vested in me in
this behalf, do, by this my Proclamation, appoint
Thursday, the ninth day of May next, as a general
holiday and day for a public thanksgiving; and do
hereby invite the Clergy and Ministers of Religion of
all Denominations, and all other Her Majesty’s sub-
jects in New Zealand, to observe Thursday aforesaid as a
day of special thanksgiving to Almighty God accord-
ingly.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of
Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor
and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her
Majesty’s Colony of New Zealand and its
Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the
same; and issued under the Seal of the
said Colony, at Wellington, this twenty-
fifth day of April, in the year of our Lord,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
two.
