W HEREAS by the tenth section of "The Native
Lands Act, 1867," it is enacted that any noti-
fication published in the New Zealand Gazette, and
purporting to be made by the authority of the
Governor, and stating that the Native Title over any
land therein described had been extinguished pre-
viously to a date therein specified, shall be received
in the Native Lands Court, and by and before every
Judge thereof, in all matters which shall at any time
be depending in or before such Court, or before any
Judge thereof, as conclusive proof that the Native
Title over the land described in such notice had been
extinguished at some time previously to the date
therein specified, and that such land on such date
had ceased to be Native land within the meaning of

GREETING :

W HEREAS by an Ordinance of the Lieut.-
Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the
Colony of New Zealand, intituled "An Ordinance
for the Regulation of Prisons," Sess. VII., No. 7, the
Governor is empowered from time to time to make
such rules and regulations as to him shall seem fit,
touching the duties of the officers of any public gaol
-the classification, diet, instruction, treatment, and
correction of the prisoners therein, and generally to
prescribe all such rules as may be necessary for the
good discipline of any public gaol, and the safe
custody of the prisoners therein, and it is by the said
Ordinance provided that, for the purpose of giving
effect to the rules and regulations hereby authorized
to be made by the Governor, it shall be lawful for the
Governor by any such regulations to enforce any
penalty not exceeding twenty pounds for any offence
against such rules and regulations to be recovered in
a summary way.

And whereas by an Act of the General Assembly
of the said Colony, intituled "The Secondary
Punishment Act Amendment Act, 1863," it is enacted
that it shall be lawful for the Governor from
time to time to make such rules and regulations
as to him shall seem meet, for the employment,
safe custody, management, and discipline of
convicts under sentence of penal servitude, and
to enforce the observance of such rules and
regulations, by solitary confinement, for any period
not exceeding one month at any one time, or
for three months in periods of one month at intervals
of at least one month each, by placing in irons,
whipping not exceeding fifty lashes at one time, by
imprisonment not exceeding twelve months in addi-
tion to the original sentence, and by such other
prison discipline as may be prescribed in that behalf:
Provided always that no rule or regulation awarding
any such punishment as aforesaid shall come into
operation until a copy thereof shall have been first
published in the New Zealand Gazette:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, under and
by virtue of the provisions in the said Ordinance and
