PROCLAMATION
By the Hon. John Parkin Taylor,
Esquire, Superintendent of the
Province of Southland.
In pursuance of the provisions of the "Provincial Reserved Bills Act, 1858," Section 2. I hereby notify that the following Ordinance passed by the Provincial Legislature of the Province of Southland, viz. "The Provincial disabilities Confirmation Ordinance, No. 2, 1866," has been laid before His Excellency the Governor, and that His Excellency has assented to the same.
Given under my hand this 28th day of June, 1866.
John P. Taylor,
Superintendent.
I have, &c.
I have been very slow. Although I do not know the fact to be so, yet I have reason to believe that during, and after, the session of the Provincial Council, the printing for the Provincial Government (for which he also holds the contract) sometimes proved a hindrance. The cause of delay, whatever it was, was not in this office. At the outset, I determined that I would always have manuscript ready as required, and this has been fully accomplished; although frequently involved embarrassing interruptions of other official work. From the commencement of the printing up to this day, the printer has not been kept waiting for copy in even a single instance.
I have only to add the expression of my earnest hope that the Statistics for 1865 (now in preparation) may not be kept back by similar, or any other, difficulties. No effort on my part shall be wanting to ensure their publication at the earliest possible date.
