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 Pro-
clamation 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 forming 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
Province of Otago unless one third part at least of
the area thereof shall be determined under the pro-
visions of the said "Otago Hundreds Regulation Act,
1869," to be land available for agricultural purposes,
and that no Hundred shall exceed twenty thousand
acres in extent, and that, in determining the bound-
aries 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 that
district or portion 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 a Hundred under and
subject to the provisions of the said Acts.
