At the Government House, at Wellington, this

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The New Zealand Settlements
Amendment and Continuance Act, 1865," it is
enacted that the order and manner in which land
taken under the authority of "The New Zealand
Settlements Act, 1863," and "The New Zealand
Settlements Amendment and Continuance Act,
1865," should be laid out for sale and sold should be
at the discretion of the Governor, who shall have
power to cause such land or any part thereof to be
laid out for sale and sold from time to time in such
manner, for such consideration, and in such allot-
ments as he shall think fit, and subject to such
regulations as he shall with the advice of the Execu-
tive Council from time to time prescribe. And
whereas by "The New Zealand Settlements Amend-
ment Act, 1866," it is provided that the said lands
shall be sold for such consideration or at such price,
and whether for cash or otherwise, as the Governor
shall from time to time prescribe, and that all lands
taken under authority of the said "New Zealand
Settlements Act, 1863," and "The New Zealand
Settlements Amendment and Continuance Act, 1865,"
or either of them, and sold or disposed of under the
authority of the said first recited Act, shall be sold
or disposed of under Regulations to be made by
the Governor in Council, which Regulations shall be
published in the New Zealand Gazette :

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor in
exercise of all powers and authorities vested in him
in that behalf, doth hereby, with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council of the Colony, make
the following Regulations for the sale and disposal
of land taken under the said Acts or either or any
of them in any part of the said Colony.

GENERAL REGULATIONS.

1. Whenever in any regulation made, or hereafter
   to be made, under the said Acts any powers are
   given to or any duty is imposed on the Colonial
   Secretary, such powers and duties shall be deemed
   to have been and to be given to and imposed upon
   the Minister for the time being in charge of the
   administration of confiscated lands.

2. In construing the foregoing regulation the
   expression "the said Acts" shall be deemed and
   taken to mean "The New Zealand Settlements Act,
   1863;" "The New Zealand Settlements Amendment
   Act, 1864;" "The New Zealand Settlements Amend-
   ment and Continuance Act, 1865;" and "The New
   Zealand Settlements Acts Amendment Act, 1866,"
   or any or either of them.

And in further exercise of the said powers and
authorities His Excellency the Governor, with the
like advice and consent aforesaid, doth make the
following regulations for the sale and disposal of
lands taken under the said Acts or either of them,
in the districts of Ngatiawa, Middle Taranaki, and
Ngatiruanui.

Regulations for the Sale and Disposal of Lands in the
districts of Ngatiawa, Middle Taranaki, and
Ngatiruanui.

1. The Colonial Secretary may, at his discretion,
   sell to any person who, with his license or permission
   had, prior to the date of these regulations, occupied
   and made valuable improvements upon lands taken
   under the said Acts within the Township and Suburbs
   of Carlyle, on the River Patea, the whole or any part
   of which the Colonial Secretary may think fit of the
   land so occupied by such person: Provided that no
   land shall be sold under this regulation at a lower
   rate than ten shillings per foot of frontage with a
   depth not exceeding two chains.

2. The Colonial Secretary may receive tenders for
   purchase from such occupiers as in the last regula-
   tion described, whenever the land in their occupation
   shall have been advertised for sale, and may, if he
   thinks fit, on receipt of any such tender withdraw
   the land tendered for from such sale, and may, after
   such sale, accept of such tender as regards the whole
   or any part of the land tendered for, provided that
   the price accepted shall not be less than that paid at
   auction for the nearest sections of like frontage and
   advantages; provided also that no lot shall be sold
   under this regulation which does not conform in
   shape and proportions to the survey of the town and
   suburbs, and to the rules in force in that behalf as
   to Crown Lands in the Province of Taranaki.

3. The Colonial Secretary may cause such annual
   licenses as he may think fit to be issued and
   renewed in his name, authorizing the licensee to cut
   and remove timber from such of the said lands
   within the said districts, not exceeding in any case
   ten acres, as shall be fully described in such license,
   and there shall be paid for every such license and
   renewal a fee of one pound.

4. The Colonial Secretary may cause a lease or
   leases to be issued in his name of the whole or any
   part of any of the lands taken under the said Act
   and now described, or which shall hereafter be
   described, on the district maps, as the Railway
   Reserve; such lease to be granted by public auction
   or tender for any term not exceeding ten years, and
   with or without liberty to cut timber, and subject to
   such reservations as he may think fit, subject always
   to power to the Governor from time to time to cause
   such surveys, roads, or railways as he may think fit
   to be made within, through, or across the said
   reserve, and to take such timber as may be necessary
   for public works from any part thereof.

5. The Colonial Secretary may cause Pasturage
   Licenses to be issued for the whole or any of the
   lands taken under the said Acts within the said
   districts. Every such license shall be granted by
   tender, and shall be terminable by the Colonial
   Secretary, as to the whole or any part of the land
   comprised therein, on two months' notice, and shall
   be subject to power to the Governor to cause such
   surveys, roads, or railways, as he may think fit, to be
   from time to time made within through or across
   the land comprised therein.

6. In construing the five foregoing regulations
   the expression "the said Acts" shall be deemed
