WELLINGTON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1869.

G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Public Buildings Reserves
Act, 1867," it is enacted that "whenever any
land not included in any Crown Grant, in any
Province, shall have been or shall be reserved for
any public purpose whatever by the Superintendent
and Provincial Council of any Province, and shall
have been or shall be appropriated, set apart, or
used as the site of any Post Office, Custom House,
Magistrate's Court, Gaol, Telegraph Office, or any
other public building for the use of the General
Government, or any Department thereof, or for any
purpose of public utility or convenience connected
with the General Government administration, it
shall be lawful for the Governor, after he shall have
received a Resolution agreed to by the Superintendent
and Provincial Council of such Province for the time
being, to declare, by a Proclamation published in the
Government Gazette, that such land shall thence-
forth cease to be a reserve for the public purpose for
which the same shall have been originally reserved,
and the same shall be a reserve for such public
purpose as the Governor shall declare in and by
such Proclamation; and thereupon such land shall
thenceforth be deemed to be land reserved under the
twelfth section of 'The Waste Lands Act, 1858,'
and subject to be dealt with as such:

And whereas by Proclamation under "The Oamaru
Reserves Ordinance, 1865," the Superintendent of
the Province of Otago, in pursuance and in exercise
of the power and authority vested in him, did pro-
claim that a certain block of land, including the land
described in the Schedule hereto, should be set apart
for public use as an Esplanade:

And whereas the Provincial Council of Otago did,
on the tenth day of May, 1869, pass a resolution
recommending that the purpose for which the reserve
hereinbefore mentioned was made should, so far as
regards that portion thereof described in the Schedule
hereto, be altered, and that the said portion should
be set apart as a reserve for a site of a Custom
House, and the Superintendent of the said Province
of Otago did, on the nineteenth day of June, 1869,
signify his assent to the same:

Now therefore know ye, that I, Sir George
Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand Cross of the Most
Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint
George, Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in
pursuance and exercise of the power and authority
vested in me by the Act aforesaid, and by "The
Waste Lands Act, 1858," do hereby declare that the
land described in the said Schedule hereto shall
henceforth cease to be a reserve for an Esplanade,
and that the same shall be a reserve for the site of a
Custom House.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished Order
of Saint Michael and Saint George,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in
and over Her Majesty's Colony of New
Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-
Admiral of the same, at Wellington, this
seventh day of August, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-nine.
