March, 1867.
Present:
THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand, intituled "The Bay of Islands
Settlements Act, 1858," the Governor was empowered
to set apart, on the western side of the Bay of
Islands, an eligible site for colonization, and to take
for such Settlement certain land in the said Act
specified, and within such Settlement to cause a
town to be surveyed and laid out, and also suburban
and rural allotments; and it is further provided by
the said Act that all such town, suburban, and rural
lands shall be let, sold, occupied, and disposed of, for
such prices, in such manner, for such purposes, upon
such laws, and subject to such regulations, as the
Governor in Council shall from time to time prescribe
for that purpose.

And whereas by an Order in Council, made at the
Government House, at Auckland, on the nineteenth
day of April, 1864; and by another Order in Council,
made at the Government House, at Wellington, on
the eleventh day of January. 1866, certain regulations
were made under the said recited Act.

And whereas it is expedient to make further
regulations for the sale of town, suburban, and rural
lands in the said Settlement:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council, and in exercise of the above power, doth, by
this present Order, make the following additional
regulations for the purposes hereinbefore recited;
and such regulations shall be held and deemed to
apply to lands comprised in the aforesaid Settlement.

TOWN LANDS AND SUBURBAN LANDS.

1. Town lands and suburban lands, excepting such
   as shall be reserved for public purposes, or for any
   purpose in "The Auckland Waste Lands Act, 1858,"
   specified, shall be from time to time set apart and
   offered for sale by public auction at an upset price
   to be fixed by the Superintendent of the Province of
   Auckland, with the advice and consent of the
   Executive Council thereof.
2. The Superintendent shall, from time to time,
   notify in the Government Gazette of the Province of
   Auckland, and in such newspapers in the Colony of
   New Zealand, or elsewhere, as to him shall seem
   meet, what lands are to be sold at such public sales,
   and the upset prices thereof respectively; and such
   lands shall not be so offered for sale until at least
   one calendar month shall have elapsed after the first
   publication of such notification.
3. Such public sales shall be held and conducted
   by such person, at such times, and in such places
   within the said Province, as the Superintendent
   shall by notification in the Government Gazette for
   the Province of Auckland from time to time nominate
   and appoint.
4. The purchase money of each allotment of land
   sold at such sale shall be paid by the purchaser
   thereof, or his agent, to a Receiver of Land Revenue
   as follows, namely, one-fourth of the price thereof at
   the time of sale, by way of deposit, and the remain-
   ing three-fourths at any time within one calendar
   month after the sale. In the event of the second
   payment not being made to such Receiver within the
   said period of one calendar month, the sale shall be
   void and the deposit forfeited.
5. It shall be lawful for any person, within
   twelve calendar months after any such auction to
   purchase any land in respect of which the deposit
   shall have been forfeited as aforesaid, by paying for
   the same in cash the sum for which such land was
   knocked down at the auction.
6. It shall be lawful for any person within twelve
   calendar months after any auction to become the
   purchaser, by private contract, of any land so put
   up for sale as aforesaid, and not knocked down to
   any bidder, on paying for the same in cash the upset
   price at which the same was put up for sale.

ERRATA. - The words "per annum" concluding the Order in Council under the Intestate Estates Acts, on page 144 of
Gazette No. 21 of the 8th instant, were inserted in error. For the word "part" in the twentieth line of the proclama-
tion dated 8th January, 1867, regulating the shipment of gold coastwise read "port."
