things provided, that where, under the provisions of
"The Native Reserves Act, 1856," the assent of the
aboriginal inhabitants is required to bringing land
under the operation of the said "Native Reserves
Act, 1856," the Governor may, by Order in Council,
declare such assent to have been ascertained, and
thereupon the title of the aboriginal inhabitants in
the land to which the same shall relate shall be
deemed to be extinguished, and the land shall, from
the date of such Order in Council, vest in Her
Majesty for the purposes and subject to the pro-
visions of the said "Native Reserves Act, 1856," as
attested by the recited Act, and that as effectually as
