G. GREY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the fourteenth section of "The
Gold Fields Act, 1866," it is enacted that it
shall be lawful for the Governor, from time to time, to
make alter and revoke regulations for the depasturing
of stock upon any lands within proclaimed Gold
Fields for which a lease or license for depasturing
purposes has not been granted, or has been cancelled
or suspended, and to regulate the number of horses
and cattle which may be run upon such lands, by
the holders of miners' rights and business licenses,
or of mining, mineral, and agricultural leases, or by
other persons, and to issue depasturing licenses, and
to regulate the fees that shall be paid therefor.

And whereas by the one hundred and ninth section
of the said Act it is enacted that it shall be lawful for
the Governor in Council, under his hand and the
Public Seal of the Colony, from time to time to delegate
to the Superintendent of any Province, or to such other
person as the Governor may deem fit, all or any of
the powers vested in the Governor or the Governor
in Council by this Act, except the powers conferred
by sections twenty-two, forty-eight, sixty, ninety-six,
and one hundred and seven thereof, subject or not to
any limitations or restrictions as he may think fit, and
in like manner to alter or revoke any such powers.

And whereas on the twelfth day of October, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, I, Sir
George Grey, Governor, did with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council, delegate to
Thomas Dick, Esq., then being Superintendent
of the Province of Otago, so long as he should
continue and remain Superintendent of the said
Province, and no longer, amongst other powers, the
powers vested in me by the said fourteenth section of
the said Act. And whereas the said Thomas Dick,
in pursuance and in exercise of the powers vested
in him as such delegate as aforesaid, did, in the
proclamation dated the twenty-second day of February
last, and published in Government Gazette of the said
Province of Otago, on the twenty-seventh day of
February last, make certain regulatiors for the
depasturing of stock upon lands within the Otago
Gold Field. And whereas the said Thomas Dick, on
the twenty-sixth day of February last, did make certain
other proclamations, and published the same in the
said Gazette, on the twenty-seventh day of February
last, and did thereby make certain Regulations,
purporting to be Regulations for the issue of
Depasturing Licenses upon certain lands within the
proclaimed Otago Gold Field. And whereas it is
expedient that the said several Proclamations and
Regulations should be revoked: Now therefore I, Sir
George Grey, do hereby in exercise and pursuance of
the power vested on me in this behalf revoke the said
several Proclamations and Regulations so made as
aforesaid by the said Thomas Dick.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Grey, Knight Commander of the
Most Honorable Order of the Bath,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in
and over Her Majesty's Colony of New
Zealand and its Dependencies, and issued
under the Seal of the said Colony, at
Wellington, this twenty-fifth day of April,
in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-seven.
