Provincial Secretary's Office, Nelson,

HIS Honor the Superintendent directs the publication of the following despatch relative to the "Nelson Waste Lands Act, 1863," for general information.

ALFRED GREENFIELD,
Chief Clerk.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Auckland,

August 26, 1864.

Sir,—I have to inform your Honor that the Royal assent has been given to the reserved Bill of the General Assembly, entitled the "Nelson Waste Lands Act, 1863."

This Act will not come into force until his Excellency the Governor proclaims it as having received her Majesty's assent, and, in order to avoid the inconvenience of a change in the Nelson Land Regulations before the local authorities are aware of it, that proclamation will not be made until the 14th of September next, on which day it will appear in the New Zealand Gazette.

I have to request your Honor to be good enough to give every publicity to this communication.

I have, &c.,
(Signed) WILLIAM FOX.

Provincial Secretary's Office, Nelson,

August 31, 1864.
