A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Native Lands Frauds Pre-
vention Act, 1870," it is among other things
enacted that the Governor in Council may, by
Proclamation in that behalf, from time to time
define districts to be called Native Trust Districts,
and bring the same under the operation of the
said Act, and may at any time, and from time to
time thereafter, alter the boundaries of such districts
or withdraw any district, or any part of any dis-
trict, from the operation of the said Act: And
whereas by two several Proclamations, each bearing
date the eleventh day of May last past, made under
the authority of the said Act, the respective districts
therein described were declared to be Native Trusts
Districts under the said Act, by the names therein
mentioned: And whereas it is expedient that the
said districts hereinbefore mentioned should be re-
defined, and also that another district should be
defined under the said Act as hereinafter mentioned,
and that the said several districts should be brought
under the operation of the said Act:

Now therefore His Excellency Sir George Fer-
guson Bowen, the Governor of the Colony of
New Zealand, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Executive Council of the said Colony,

authority vested in him by "The Native Lands
Frauds Prevention Act, 1870," doth hereby pro-
claim and declare that the several districts defined
and described in the Schedule hereunder written
shall, from and after the day of the date hereof,
be Native Trust Districts under the said Act, and
shall be called by the names set opposite to each
definition and description thereof in the said
Schedule-the two first-mentioned of which districts
are defined in lieu of those defined and proclaimed by
the said several Proclamations of the eleventh day of
May last past. And with the like advice and consent
as aforesaid, His Excellency the Governor doth, in
further pursuance and exercise of the aforesaid power
and authority, hereby bring each of the said several
districts hereby defined and proclaimed under the
operation of the said Act.
