CIRCULAR TO MAGISTRATES, &c.

Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Auckland, 20th January, 1863.

SIR,—I am instructed by Mr. Domett to call your attention to the Returns inserted in the New Zealand Gazette, describing the persons of deserters from Her Majesty’s Army and Navy.

It is the earnest wish of the Government to check the practice of Desertion from the Imperial Forces, and hence a Reward of Five Pounds has been offered by the Colonial Government to the person capturing any such Deserters (in addition to the Reward of Two Pounds granted by the Imperial Government). And the publication of the Descriptive Returns above alluded to will be from time to time continued.

The Government relies with confidence on your exertions to secure the arrest of such power having the means of identifying the men who now provided for the apprehension of all who are still at large.

I beg to enclose a copy of the Return last published.

I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
(Signed) W. GISBORNE,
Under Secretary.
