Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

No license under the hand of the Colonial Secretary author rising the removal of any body interred in the said land mentioned in the Schedule hereto, under section fifty-eight of “The Cemeteries Act, 1882,” shall be granted unless the application for the same has been advertised for three successive weeks in some newspaper circulating in the Borough of Gore.
