or such as from any cause whatsoever cannot be delivered or forwarded, and the contents thereof respectively, and for the publication of the lists of the same; for the making, custody, and sale of postage labels; for the receiving and paying of money in connection with the said Postal Service; and for the conduct of Post Officers; and any such rules and regulations at any time in force to alter, vary, or revoke, and for the purpose of giving effect to the rules and regulations so to be made, further power is given to the Governor in Council by the said Act to impose any penalty not exceeding Ten Pounds for any one offence against such rules and regulations:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of New Zealand, doth hereby make the following additional Post Office Regulation, and doth declare that the same shall be in force from and after the fifth day of August, 1865:—

PATTERN POST.

Regulation 85.

A system of Pattern Post will be established between places within the Colony of New Zealand, and also between the Colony and the United Kingdom and the Colonies of Victoria and New South Wales, whereby patterns of merchandise, of no intrinsic value, may be sent by post under the same regulations and at the same rates of postage as those of the Book Post.

(1.) No packet of Patterns must exceed twenty-four ounces in weight.

(2.) The patterns must not be of intrinsic value. This rule excludes all articles of a saleable nature, and indeed, whatever may have a value of its own apart from its mere use as a pattern; and the quantity of any material sent ostensibly as a pattern must not be so great that it can be fairly considered as having on this ground an intrinsic value.

(3.) There must be no writing or printing other than the address of the person for whom the packet is intended, the address of the sender, a trade-mark and number, and the prices of the articles.

(4.) The patterns must be sent in covers open at the ends, so as to be easy of examination.

(5.) In all other respects the regulations of the Book Post will apply to the Pattern Post.

(6.) Any packets not in accordance with the above regulations will be treated as letters.

Warrant appointing Trustees of the Savings Bank at Invercargill.

By His Excellency Sir George Grey, Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty’s Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same, &c., &c., &c.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled “The Savings’ Bank Act, 1858,” it is enacted that the management of the affairs of every such Bank shall be vested in not less than five or more than thirty-six Trustees, who shall be nominated by the Governor, and that such Trustees may from time to time be removed from office and be re-appointed, or others may be appointed in their place:

And whereas, in consequence of the absence from the Province of several of the persons who have been appointed Trustees of the Savings’ Bank established at Invercargill, it is expedient that all the present Trustees should be removed from office, and that those who are resident in the Province and willing to act should be re-appointed:

Now therefore, in exercise of the powers in me vested by the said recited Act, I, Sir George Grey, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, do hereby remove from the office of Trustee of the Savings’ Bank established at Invercargill every person who now holds the said office, and I hereby nominate and re-appoint each of the persons hereinafter named to be a Trustee of the said Bank, namely:—

• JOHN CRAWFORD HENDERSON,
• DONALD McDONALD,
• JAMES HARVEY,
• SAMUEL BEAVEN,
• JOHN SYDNEY LOVETT.

Given under my hand at the Government House, Wellington, this fifth day of August 1865.
