    such scrip has been granted may be situate.

    of the Governor in Council.

    Zealand Gazette at least three months before the
    issue of any grant of the same.

46. The foregoing Regulations, from 35 to 40, in-
    clusive, shall not apply to the construction of any

    may by Proclamation at any time direct and declare
    that the foregoing Regulations, or any of them, shall
