may, at the request of the Superintendent
of any Province, from time to time make
Regulations (as therein mentioned) for the
conduct of immigration under the said Act
into such province, and for the nomination
of Immigrants by persons resident therein,
and for the distribution of funds provided by
the said Act for immigration purposes, and
for the introduction into and settlement in
such Province of Immigrants, and for selling
as special settlements for any such Immigrants
any lands which he may acquire from any
Province under the provisions therein con-

any such Immigrants:

And whereas by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act Amendment Act, 1871," it is,

are to or may be done by the Governor at the
request of the Superintendent of a Province,
is thereby repealed: and it is thereby enacted
that the Governor may exercise all the
powers, and do and perform all the acts,
matters, and things in the said sections
mentioned, without any request from any
Superintendent of any Province or any other
person or authority:

And whereas, in pursuance of the power
and authority contained in the said first-
mentioned Act, the Governor, at the request
of certain Superintendents of Provinces, did
make certain Regulations for the introduc-
tion of Immigrants from Europe into these
Provinces respectively, on the nomination of
persons resident therein: And whereas it
hath been determined to make other Regula-
tions in lieu of those so made as aforesaid:

Now therefore, I Sir George Ferguson
Bowen, the Governor of the Colony of New
Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers and authorities vested in me by the
hereinbefore in part recited Acts, and of every
other power and authority enabling me in
that behalf, do hereby make the Regulations
