A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the seventeenth section of "The
County of Westland Act, 1867," it is enacted

from time to time, as he shall think fit, by Procla-
mation in the New Zealand Gazette, to make Regu-
lations for the sale, letting, disposal, occupation, and
management of any Waste Lands of the Crown, and
to alter the laws in force within the said County
of Westland at the time of coming into operation of
the said Act regulating the sale, letting, disposal,
occupation, and management of such lands within
the said County of Westland, and to sell, let, and
dispose thereof at such prices, and in such allot-
ments, and generally in such manner as he shall
deem expedient, and in like manner to alter, vary,
and annul any such Regulations, and to make others:
Provided that it shall not be lawful by any such
Regulations to authorize the sale of land classified
under such Regulations as rural land at a less
price than ten shillings per acre: Provided also that
nothing in the said seventeenth section of the said
Act contained shall affect, or authorize the making
of Regulations to affect, any promise, contract, or
engagement made by or on behalf of Her Majesty
previously to the coming into operation of the
said Act, and then incomplete or unfulfilled: And
whereas Regulations have from time to time been
made under the said recited power, and it is expe-
dient to revoke all the said Regulations, and to make
new Regulations in manner herein appearing:
Now therefore I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
the Governor of New Zealand, in pursuance and
exercise of the power and authority conferred on me
by the hereinbefore recited Act, do hereby, with
the advice and consent of the Executive Council of
New Zealand, make and proclaim the Regulations in
the Schedule hereto for the sale, letting, disposal,
occupation, and management of the Waste Lands
of the Crown within the County of Westland, and
in pursuance and exercise of the said power and
authority, and with the like advice and consent,

proclaim and declare that the laws in force within
the said County at the time of coming into operation
of "The County of Westland Act, 1867," regulating
the sale, letting, disposal, occupation, and manage-
ment of such lands within the said County, so far as
the same now remain in force, shall be altered in the
manner provided in and by the Regulations con-
tained in the Schedule hereto; and in further
pursuance and exercise of the said power and
authority, and by the like advice and consent, I
declare that the said Regulations shall come into
force on the day of publication of this Proclamation
in the New Zealand Gazette.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
