WHEREAS by Proclamation made by the
Governor in Council, on the 17th day of
November, 1869, certain regulations for the sale,
letting, occupation, and management of the Waste

was among other things provided that the sites of

Governor in manner therein mentioned, and that all
sites for towns determined to be such sites before the
coming into operation of the said regulations, shall
continue to be sites for towns as if determined there-
under; provided always that upon the recommen-
dation of the County Council, approved by the
Waste Lands Board, the Governor may withdraw
any such lands as sites for towns: And whereas the
pieces of land mentioned in the Schedule hereto were
determined to be sites for towns before the coming
