declare such assent to have been ascertained, and
thereupon the title of the aboriginal inhabitants in
the land to which the same shall relate shall be
deemed to be extinguished, and the land shall, from
the date of such Order in Council, vest in Her
Majesty for the purposes and subject to the provisions
of the said "Native Reserves Act, 1856," as altered
by the recited Act, and that as effectually as if the
same had been ceded and conveyed by such aboriginal
inhabitants to Her Majesty :

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council, doth hereby declare that the assent of the
aboriginal inhabitants to the bringing the piece of

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by an an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand, intituled "The Electric Tele-
graph Act, 1865," the Governor of New Zealand is
empowered to establish lines of electric telegraph,
and to purchase any lines of electric telegraph then
existing. And whereas by the said Act it is amongst
other things enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor, by Order in Council, to make regulations
for the transmission and delivery of all despatches,
messages and communications by means of any such
line and in like manner to fix and determine the fees,
rates, or dues to be demanded and received for the
transmission of any such despatch, message, or com-
munication, and for the delivery thereof respectively,
and the modes and times of payment; and to regu-
late the conduct, management, working and mainte-
nance of any such telegraph line, and any such fees,
rates, dues or regulations from time to time to
increase or lower, repeal, alter, or vary respectively,
and direct and make such others as may be deemed
expedient; and such fees, rates, and dues may be
legally recovered; and such regulations shall have
the force of law when published in the Government
Gazette of the Colony.

And whereas by an Order in Council duly made
and issued, bearing date the first day of April, 1866,
the Governor in Council did, in pursuance of the said
recited power and authority, fix and determine the
fees, rates, or dues to be demanded or received for
the transmission of any such despatches, messages, or
communications by means of any line of telegraph
which has been or hereafter shall be established or
purchased under the powers conferred by the said
Act: And whereas it is expedient to revoke the
Schedules of "Tariff of Charges for the transmission
of Telegrams" attached to "Regulations and Condi-
tions under which Telegrams are authorized to be
transmitted on the Lines of Electric Telegraph
belonging to the General Government of New
Zealand," and to substitute other charges in lieu
thereof:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
exercise of the powers vested in him by the herein-
before recited Act, doth, with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of New Zealand, revoke the
said Schedules of "Tariff of Charges," and doth
substitute the following Tariff of Charges for the
Transmission of Telegrams in lieu thereof, and doth
declare that such revocation and substitution shall
take effect from and after the first day of November,
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.
