WELLINGTON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1870.

G. F. BOWEN, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly,
intituled *"The County of Westland Act,
1867,"* it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor in Council, from time to time, as he may
think fit, by Proclamation published in the New
Zealand Gazette, to make regulations for the sale,
letting, disposal, occupation, and management of any
waste lands of the Crown within the County of
Westland, and to sell, let, and dispose thereof at
such prices, and in such allotments, and generally in
such manner as he shall deem expedient, and in like
manner to alter, vary, or annul any such regulations,
and to make others:

And whereas by a Proclamation issued on the
seventeenth day of November last by His Excellency
the Governor, with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of New Zealand, and published in
the New Zealand Gazette on the twenty-ninth day of
November last, certain regulations were made for the
sale, letting, disposal, occupation, and management
of the waste lands of the Crown in the County of
Westland:

And whereas by a certain other Act of the General
Assembly, intituled *"The Gold Fields Act, 1866,"* it
is enacted that any district proclaimed or to be pro-
claimed a gold field, shall not be subject to any
provisions of any law for the time being in force
regulating the sale, disposal, and occupation of
Crown Lands within the Province in which such
gold field is situate, except (amongst other excep-
tions) so far as the provisions of such law may
specially authorize the sale or leasing of land within
a gold field:

And whereas it is expedient that provision should
be made, specially authorizing the sale and lease of
the waste lands of the Crown within any gold field
proclaimed or to be proclaimed within the County of
Westland:

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 first recited Act, do hereby, with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of New
Zealand, make and proclaim the regulations contained
in the Schedule hereto, to be read with and as
forming part of the said regulations made on the
seventeenth day of November last, for the sale, letting,
disposal, occupation, and management of the waste
lands of the Crown in the County of Westland.

SCHEDULE.

1. The term "the regulations" shall be construed
   to mean the regulations for the time being in force for

2. Lands situate within any gold field, now or
   hereafter proclaimed, shall be sold, leased, or other-
   wise dealt with under these regulations, in the same
   manner, by the same persons, and subject to the
   same conditions as if such lands were not situate
   within a gold field, and the regulations shall be
   deemed to specially authorize such sale, lease, or
   other disposal.
