Queen Victoria, intituled "An Act to grant a
Representative Constitution to the Colony of New
Zealand," it is amongst other things enacted, that
whenever any Bill shall have been assented to by the
Superintendent, as in the said Act provided, the
Superintendent shall forthwith transmit to the
Governor an authentic copy thereof, and it shall be
lawful for the Governor, at any time within three
months after any such Bill shall have been received
by him, to declare by Proclamation his disallowance
of such Bill; and that any such disallowance shall
make void and annul the same from and after the
day of the date of such Proclamation, or any subse-
quent day to be named therein.

enacted by the Superintendent of Wellington, with
the advice and consent of the Provincial Council

behalf by the said recited Act of Parliament, do
hereby proclaim and declare my disallowance of the
following Act passed by the Superintendent and

G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1870," it is amongst other things
enacted that the Governor, from time to time, by
Proclamation published in the New Zealand Gazette,
may, as to parts within the North Island of New
Zealand, define the roads and the boundaries thereof,
and the bridges and ferries, which shall be and be
deemed to be roads, bridges, or ferries, as the case
may be, under the provisions of the said Act, and any
such Proclamation may include existing roads, but no
such roads or parts of roads shall be included if they
are, in the opinion of the Governor in Council, roads
which should be constructed by the Superintendent
and the Provincial Council of the Province wherein
such roads are situated (as well as new road lines);
and the Governor from time to time may revoke or
alter any such Proclamation: And whereas in the
opinion of me, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, Governor
of New Zealand, and the Executive Council of New
Zealand, the road defined in the Schedule hereunto
is not a road which should be constructed by the
Superintendent and the Provincial Council of the
Province of Auckland:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance
of the power and authority in me vested by the said
Act, do hereby proclaim and declare that the road
within the North Island of New Zealand described,
and the boundaries whereof are set forth in the
Schedule hereto, and which road is delineated on a
plan numbered I., deposited in the Office of the Public
Works Department at Wellington, in the Province
of Wellington, and thereon coloured red, and which
plan is authenticated for the purposes of this Procla-
mation by the signature of the Honorable William
Gisborne, the Minister for Public Works, shall be
and be deemed to be a road under the provisions of
the said Act.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished Order
of Saint Michael and Saint George,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in
and over Her Majesty's Colony of New
Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-
Admiral of the same; and issued under
