PROCLAMATION.
By his Honor Arthur Penrose Seymour, Esquire, Superintendent of the Province of Marlborough, in the Colony of New Zealand, &c.
WHEREAS by Clause III. of 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 that whenever any district shall have been proclaimed a Gold Field the same shall be subject to the provisions of the said act, but private lands shall be exempt from the operation of the said act, except where special provision to the contrary is made therein:
And whereas I, Arthur Penrose Seymour, Superintendent of the Province of Marlborough, by virtue of the power in that behalf delegated to me, by a warrant bearing date the fourth day of May, 1870,
under the hand of His Excellency the Governor, did by a proclamation given under my hand, and issued under the public seal of the Province of Marlborough, at Blenheim, the 20th day of May, 1870, constitute and appoint a Gold Field under the provisions of the said act, to be called the “Wairau Gold Field,” having certain boundaries therein stated, and excepting the freehold lands within those boundaries.
And whereas doubts have arisen whether private lands within the said boundaries, not being freehold lands, are exempted from the operation of the said act, and it is desirable such doubts should be removed.
Now, therefore, I, Arthur Penrose Seymour, Superintendent of the Province of Marlborough, do hereby proclaim that the said proclamation issued the 20th day of May, 1870, is to be read as if the word “private” had been inserted therein instead of the word “freehold,” and that all private lands within the boundaries of the “Wairau Gold Field” were and are exempted from the operation of the said act.
Given under my hand, and issued under the public seal of the Province of Marlborough, at Blenheim, this twenty-third day of January, 1871.
A. P. Seymour,
Superintendent.
