Abstract
Proclamation on behalf of Her Most Gracious Majesty VICTORIA, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India, establishing a Protectorate of Her Most Gracious Majesty over a portion of New Guinea and the islands adjacent thereto.
Colonial Secretary’s Office, Brisbane, 23rd December, 1884. His Excellency the Governor directs to be published for general information, the following Proclamation issued at Port Moresby, in the Island of New Guinea, on the sixth day of November last, by the Commodore of the Australian Station, establishing a British Protectorate over the territories named in the Schedule to the Proclamation.
S. W. GRIFFITH.
Supplement to the Queensland Government Gazette, Vol. XXXV, No. 113, 23 December 1884. This proclamation pretends to be identical with the one issued at Port Moresby but surreptitiously enters the D’Entrecasteaux Group into the Schedule.
