Superintendent of the Province of Southland.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, entitled the "Superintendent’s Deputy Act, 1858," it is enacted, inter alia, that it shall be lawful for the Superintendent of any Province to appoint such person as he may think fit, being a registered elector in such Province, to be his Deputy, who as such shall perform and exercise all the acts and powers (except such powers as are conferred by the Constitution Act, 15 and 16 Vic., c. 72,) which may be exercised and performed by such Superintendent; and that the acts of such Deputy-Superintendent shall be as effectual in all respects as if authorised by the Superintendent himself.

And whereas I am about to attend the Meeting of the General Assembly, and it is therefore necessary that I should appoint a registered elector to be my Deputy, to act during my absence, as provided by the said Act.

Now, therefore, I, the said Superintendent, do hereby appoint Matthew Foster Esquire, to be my Deputy, and as such to perform and exercise during my absence from this Province, all the several powers (except such powers as are conferred by the Constitution Act, 15 and 16 Vic., c. 72,) which may be performed and exercised by me.

Given under my hand, and issued under the Public Seal of the Province of Southland, this twenty-third day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two.

(L.S.)

JA. R. Menzies,
Superintendent.
