G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the eighth section of an Act of
the General Assembly of New Zealand,
intituled "The Confiscated Lands Act, 1867," it is
among other things provided that it shall be lawful
for the Governor by proclamation published in the New
Zealand Gazette, to proclaim and declare that any lands
taken under the Acts therein referred to as the said
Acts, and defined in such proclamation, and not here-
tofore granted or agreed to be granted or reserved
under any law for the time being in force, shall from

and after a day to be appointed in such proclamation
be and be deemed to be Waste Lands of the Crown
within the meaning of any Act or Ordinance or
Regulation regulating the sale of Waste Lands of the
situate, and for the time being in force from and
after the day so appointed, such land shall be sold
occupied and disposed of and dealt with in the
manner provided by such Act, Ordinance, or Regula-
tion, and not in the manner provided by "The New
Zealand Settlements Act, 1863," or any Act amending
the same, and the proceeds arising from the sale or
other disposition of any such land so proclaimed
shall be Land Revenue, and subject to the provisions
of any Act or Acts passed or to be passed
appropriating the revenue arising from the sale or
disposition of Crown Lands in the Province in
which such land lies, subject however to a proviso
that such charges as shall be specified in any such
proclamation, shall be first charges upon the proceeds
of any land to which such proclamation applies.

And whereas by Order in Council bearing date the
second of September, 1865, the lands described in
the Schedule hereto were taken under "The New
Zealand Settlements Act, 1863." And whereas the
lands described in the Schedule hereto, were previous
to the Order in Council bearing date second
September, 1865, Waste Lands of the Crown, and
the proceeds of the sale, letting, or other disposal
thereof, were, under "The Land Revenue Appropria-
tion Act, 1858," revenue of the Province of Auckland.
And whereas doubts may arise as to the effect of the
said proclamation, and it is expedient to place such
lands in the like condition as they would have been
if the said Order in Council proclaiming them
under "The New Zealand Settlements Act, 1863,"
had not issued, and that the said lands should be
proclaimed and declared to be Waste Lands of the
Crown within the meaning of "The Auckland Waste
Lands Act, 1867:"

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance
and exercise of the above recited authority, do hereby
proclaim and declare that the lands specified in the
