The Au Okoa which ran from 4/24/1865 to 3/27/1873 was the medium for official announcements of the kingdom, including the proceedings of the legislature, as well as for the publication of new laws. 

I was reminded once again about how many issues of this newspaper are missing when I was looking for the announcement of the new 1868 immigration law. It must have been printed in one of the missing issues.

Hopefully at least some of the missing issues will be found. Even some of the available issues are not very good.
