Alteration of Place of Embarkation and Landing of Prisoners to and from the Hulk “Sarah and Esther.”

(L.S.) NORMANBY, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the ninth section of “The Prisons Act, 1873,” it is amongst other things enacted that the Governor may from time to time, by Proclamation published in the New Zealand Gazette, appoint any hulk, ship, or floating prison to be used as and to be a public prison for the reception and safe keeping of prisoners convicted and sentenced for any offences by any Court in New Zealand; and may from time to time define, by Proclamation published as aforesaid, the limits and boundaries around such hulk within which no person shall come, and the place of embarking and landing prisoners to and from such hulk; and that any such Proclamation as aforesaid may from time to time be altered or revoked by the Governor:

And whereas by a Proclamation bearing date the seventeenth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, the hulk called the “Sarah and Esther,” then moored off Tahita Point, in the Otago Harbour, was appointed to be a public prison within the meaning of the said Act, and the space of twelve yards around such hulk was defined to be the limits and boundaries within which no person shall come, and Deborah Bay was defined to be the place of embarking and landing prisoners to and from such hulk:

And whereas owing to an alteration in the position of the said hulk, it is expedient to alter the said Proclamation:

Now therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine, Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities vested in me by the said Act, do hereby define Otago Peninsula to be the place of embarking and landing prisoners to and from such hulk.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Most Honorable George Augustus Constantine, Marquis of Normanby, Earl of Mulgrave, Viscount Normanby, and Baron Mulgrave of Mulgrave, all in the County of York, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom; and Baron Mulgrave of New Ross, in the County of Wexford, in the Peerage of Ireland; a Member of Her Majesty’s Most Honorable Privy Council; Knight Commander 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 the Government House, at Wellington, this sixteenth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five.

DANIEL POLLEN.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
