referred to as a Proclamation, it was declared
that all the lands of the tribe Ngaiterangi, described
in the Schedule to the now reciting Acts, should be
a district within the provisions of "The New Zea-
land Settlements Act, 1863," and should be desig-
nated by the name "Tauranga District," therein
mentioned or referred to, and it was declared that
the said lands were required for the purposes of
"The New Zealand Settlements Act, 1863," afore-
said, and ordered that the said lands should be and
were thereby set apart as sites for settlement and
colonization, agreeably to the provisions of the said
