WHEREAS, by the third section of an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled “The Gold Fields Act, 1866,” it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor from time to time, by Proclamation, to constitute and appoint any portion of the Colony to be a Gold Field under the provisions of the said Act; and the limits of such Gold Field, from time to time, to alter as occasion may require, and also, if he shall see fit, to make the Proclamation by which such Gold Field shall have been constituted; and whereas, under the provisions of the said Act, the said power so conferred upon the Governor has been duly delegated to me, John Williamson, as Superintendent of the Province of Auckland; and whereas, on the 17th day of August last, I did, by Proclamation in the Provincial Gazette, constitute and appoint a block of land at Kauwaeranga to be a Gold Field, the boundaries whereof were set forth and defined in the said Proclamation; and whereas it is expedient that the said Proclamation should be revoked, and the boundaries of the said Gold Field should be extended; Now therefore I, John Williamson, Superintendent of the Province of Auckland, do hereby revoke the said Proclamation, and do hereby constitute and appoint all that block of land in the district of Hauraki, in the Province of Auckland, hereinafter described, to be a Gold Field, under the provisions of the said Act, that is to say,—
