[Reprinted from the New Zealand Gazette.]

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled "The Savings Banks 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 reappointed, 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 to be Trustees of the Savings Bank established at New Plymouth, it is expedient that all the present Trustees should be removed from office, and that those who are resident in the Province and are willing to act should be reappointed.

Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers in me vested by the said recited Act, I, Thomas Gore Browne, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, do hereby remove from the office of Trustee of the Savings Bank established at New Plymouth every person who has been appointed Trustee and who now holds the said office. And I do hereby nominate and reappoint each of the persons hereinafter named to be a Trustee of the said Bank ; namely :—

George Cutfield,
Josiah Flight,
William Halse,
Peter Wilson,
Samuel Popham King,
William Leech,
Joseph Long,
Horatio Groube,
Edward Dorset,
Isaac Newton Watt,
Richard Brown,
