BANK HOLIDAYS.
As the local Bank authorities do not consider it advioable to advertise bank holidays (a custom which is observed in nearly every other town in New, .Zealand ) we publish, for the benefit of our readers the “ Bank Holidays- Amendment Act.” All bills falling due on these holidays are made payable the day after. It is of importance that this should be known, to prevent confusion and disappointment';— ‘ 1. The short title'of this Act shall be “ The Bank Holidays Amendment Act, 1878.”
2. After the passing of this Act, the several days mentioned in the schedule to this -A.ct shall be" hank holidays; and sections two, three, and four of “ The Bank Holidays Act, 1873/ shall apply to those days. 3. It shall be lawful for the Governor by Order in Council, to appoint part ot n special day trom the hour of noon, to be observed as a bank half-holiday; the appoinment to be made in the manner in which special days may be appointed as bank holidays under the provisions of section five of “ The Bank Holidays Act, 1873.” SCHEDULE.
