WHEREAS an engagement for the pur-
chase of a certain tract of land at the
Waitara, commonly known as Teira's block,
was entered into by the Government of New
Zealand in the year One thousand eight
hundred and fifty-nine, but the said purchase
has never been completed:
And whereas circumstances connected with
the said purchase unknown to the Government
at the time of the sale of the said land have
lately transpired which make it advisable that
the said purchase should not be further pro-
ceeded with:
Now, therefore, the Governor, with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council,
doth hereby declare that the purchase of the
said block of land is abandoned, and all claim
to the same on the part of the Government is
henceforth renounced.
Given under my hand, at New Ply-

Seal of the Colony of New Zea-

PANUITANGA.
Na TA HORI KEREI, Kawana o Niu Tireni.
K O et mea, i te tau 1859, kua puta he rite-
tenga o te Kawanatanga o Niu Tireni
mo te hoko i tetahi wahi whenua i Waitara,
otira kahore ano i oti te tikanga mo te hoko i
taua wahi whenua.
A, ko te mea hoki ko etahi o nga tikanga
mo taua whenua kahore ano i mohiotia e te
Kawanatanga i te takiwa i timataia taua hoko-
nga, engari kua kitca i naianei, no reira e kore
e whakaotia te hoko o taua wahi.
Na, tenei a te Kawana te mea nei, me te
uru ano me te whakaae ano tona runanga; Ko
te tikanga mo te hoko i taua wahi kua mutu.
Konga tikanga mo taua wahi i te taha o te
Kawanatanga tenei te karanga nei, kua whaka-
rerea.
I tukua i taku ringa i Niu Pare-
mata i te 11 o nga ra o Mei,
1863.
Naku,
Na TE KAWANA.
