HEREAS 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 sur-
veyed and laid out, and also suburban and rural allot-
ments: 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, and subject to
such regulations, as the Governor in Council shall
from time to time prescribe for that purpose: And
whereas, by Order in Council made on the twenty-
eighth day of October, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-eight, and published in the New Zealand
Gazette on the thirtieth day of October last, a certain
Regulation was made whereby it was provided that
it shall be lawful for the Governor at any time and
from time to time to except from sale and reserve to
Her Majesty such of the Waste Lands of the Crown
within the Bay of Islands Settlements as may be re-
quired for any of the purposes specified in the
twelfth section of "The Waste Lands Act, 1858,"
and such reserves shall be deemed to have been made
whenever the land so required has been notified by
the Colonial Secretary as reserved in the New
Zealand Gazette :

Now therefore I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
Governor of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance
of all powers and authorities enabling me in this
behalf, do hereby except from sale and reserve to
Her Majesty the piece of land described in the
Schedule hereto, as and for a site for public buildings
for the use of the General Government of the
Colony.
