G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Otago Hundreds Regula-
tion Act, 1869," it is enacted that, subject to the
provisions in the said Act contained, it shall be lawful
for the Governor from time to time, by Proclamation
published in the New Zealand Gazette, to constitute
into a Hundred any portion of the Waste Lands of
the Crown, within the Province of Otago, not form-
ing part of any Hundred for the time being existing,
notwithstanding that such lands or any part thereof
shall be comprised within any pastoral lease or

license heretofore or thereafter to be granted by the
Crown under any law regulating the occupation or
disposal of Waste Lands of the Crown, and whether
or not the same shall have been included within the
boundaries of any proclaimed gold field: And
whereas by "The Otago Hundreds Regulation Act,
1869 Amendment Act, 1870," it is enacted that no
Hundred shall thereafter be proclaimed in the Pro-
vince of Otago unless one third part at least of the
area thereof shall be determined under the provisions
of the said "Otago Hundreds Regulation Act,
1869," to be land available for agricultural pur-
poses, and that no Hundred shall exceed twenty
thousand acres in extent, and that, in determin-
ing the boundaries of all Hundreds thereafter
proclaimed, due regard shall be paid to the natural
features of the country over which any such Hundred
is to be proclaimed:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pur-
suance and exercise of all powers and authorities in
me vested, do hereby constitute and proclaim those
districts or portions of the Waste Lands of the
Crown within the Province of Otago, not forming
part of any existing Hundred, particularly described
in the Schedule hereto, to be Hundreds under and
subject to the provisions of the said Acts.
