REGULATIONS FOR THE CONDUCT OF IMMIGRATION TO
NEW ZEALAND, ON THE NOMINATION OF IMMIGRANTS
BY PERSONS RESIDENT THEREIN.

1. 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 Immigra-
   tion Officer, in the form at foot, copies of which can be
   obtained at all Immigration and Post Offices.
   The persons nominated, if approved by the Immigra-
   tion Officer and the officers of the Home Agency, will
   receive free passages to the Colony.
2. 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.
3. The cost of conveyance to the port (unless the Agent-
   General agrees to pay it), and to the residence of their
   friends after their arrival in the Colony, must be defrayed
   by the emigrants themselves.
4. All the ships employed in this service will be under
   the provisions of the Passenger Act.
5. It is to be distinctly understood, that notwith-

   to his judgment, to emigrate.

   the payment of bonuses to the nominators upon the

   scinded; and no certificates for the payment of such

   sons named below would not be unwilling to emigrate to

Colony.

I have, &c.,
