FREE NOMINATED IMMIGRATION.

(Extract from Order in Council, 16th October, 1873.)

Regulations for the Conduct of Immigration to New Zealand, on the Nomination of Immigrants by Persons Resident Therein.

Any person resident in the Colony desirous of nominating relatives or friends in Europe for passages to New Zealand, may do so by applying to an Immigration Officer, in the form at foot, copies of which can be obtained at all immigration and Post Offices.
Every adult emigrant will be required, before embarkation, to pay, unless specially remitted by the Agent-General, 20s. (and children in proportion), for bedding, blankets, and mess utensils.
The cost of conveyance to the port (unless the Agent-General agrees to pay it), and to the residence of their friends after arrival in the Colony, must be defrayed by the emigrants themselves.
All the ships employed in this service will be under the provisions of the Passenger Act.
It is to be distinctly understood that notwithstanding the applications are forwarded to the Agent-General by the Immigration Officers, the Agent-General in London may refuse passages where the intending emigrants are in ill health, or in any way unfit, according to his judgment, to emigrate.
The Regulations, issued upon 21st April, 1873, for the payment of bonuses to the nominators upon the arrival of nominated immigrants, are hereby revoked; and no extra bonus for the payment of such bonus will be given after the date hereof.

To the Immigration Officer,

I have the honour to state that, in my opinion, the persons named below would be not unwilling to emigrate to New Zealand, and would be desirable colonists. I have, therefore, to advise that such persons should be communicated with, and invited to emigrate to the Colony.
