AN ORDINANCE to amend the Municipal Police Ordinance of the Town and Province of New Plymouth, Session I, No. 6.

Whereas by the first section of an Ordinance of the Superintendent and Provincial Council of the Province of New Plymouth intituled “An Ordinance to regulate the Municipal Police of the Town and Province of New Plymouth” it is amongst other things enacted, that every person who shall discharge any Firework or Firearm within the distance of half-a-mile from the centre of the Huatoki Bridge, in Devon Street, in the Town of New Plymouth, shall for every such offence forfeit and pay a sum not less than 10 shillings nor exceeding 5 pounds.

And whereas such penalties have proved insufficient to repress the said offence and it is expedient to enact further penalties for the punishment thereof.

Be it therefore enacted by the Superintendent of the Province of New Plymouth:
