Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the Governor of New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the Colony, do hereby proclaim

The Building known as the "Auckland Lunatic Asylum" situated in the Province of Auckland, in the said Colony, and erected upon Allotment number thirty (30) of the Parish of Titirangi, in the County of Eden, in the said Province,

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty’s Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same, at the Government House, at Wellington; and issued under the seal of the said Colony, this ninth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight.

Approved in Council:
F.D. Fenton,

Whereas by the 69th clause of "The Auckland Waste Lands Act, 1867," the Ordinances of the Legislative Council of New Zealand, Session X, No. 1, and Session XI, No. 10, providing for the election of Wardens for the management of Crown Lands within the limits of Hundreds, created under the said Ordinances, and for conferring certain powers on such Wardens, have ceased to be of any effect with respect to any such Hundreds as may be comprised within any Highway district or districts established under any Act or Acts of the Superintendent and Provincial Council of the Province of Auckland. And whereas a certain portion of the Hundred of Panmure is included in the Mount Wellington Highway District, established under "The Highways Act, 1867." Now I, Daniel Austin Tole, Commissioner of Crown Lands, do hereby proclaim that the aforesaid provisions of said Ordinances are, within the said Hundred of Panmure, henceforth abolished and of none effect. And whereas by the said clause 69 of "The Auckland Waste Lands Act, 1867," power is further vested in me to delegate to the board or boards of trustees of such highway district or districts all the powers given and duties imposed by the aforesaid Ordinances, to or upon the Commissioner of Crown Lands or Wardens as aforesaid, in relation to the management of Crown Lands within said Hundreds.

Now therefore, I, by virtue of the said authority, do hereby delegate unto the Board of Trustees of the Mount Wellington Highway District, comprised within the limits of the Hundred of Panmure aforesaid, all the said powers and duties in relation to the said Crown Lands within such portion of the Hundred of Panmure aforesaid as is comprised within the Mount Wellington Highway District.
