CONTROL OF SHIPPING
— —-♦ Old Proclamation Revoked
Au old proclamation dating back to the early days of responsible‘Government, iu New Zealand is revoked by a notice in this week’s “Gazette,” This proclamation regulated the carriage of passengers by sailing-ships and by steamers from New Zealand to other English possessions in tlie South Pacific. It was issued under an Act of (lie Imperial Parliament passed In flic session held in the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth years of the.reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. These years would be 1861 and 1862, and the legislation was described as “an Act to empower tlie Governors of the several Australian Colonies to regulate the number of passengers to be carried in vessels plying between ports in those Colonies.” '
The shipping requirements prescribed by the proclamation were superseded by the provisions of the Shipping and Seamen Act, which was first passed in 1877, and by survey, regulations under that legislation. This Act was consolidated in 1903 and subsequently replaced by a general consolidation in 1908. Consequently the necessity for the old proclamation no longer exists, and a purge of superfluous regulations has brought about its repeal.
