member neglects or fails to make payment.
15. In the event of the death of a member before
being put in possession of his land, his interest in
the allotment or allotments will revert to his heirs or
executors, who may dispose of it to a bonâ fide
settler: Provided always that no member shall be
allowed to hold in all more than 200 acres; but

majority of the members, forfeit his interest in the
Association, and the Committee shall re-allot his
shares to a bonâ fide settler; and these Rules shall be
sufficient authority for such forfeiture and re-allot-
ment.
18. Should any member of the Association fail to

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly of
New Zealand, intituled "The Native Reserves
Amendment Act, 1862," it is, amongst other things,
provided that where, under the provisions of "The Native
Reserves Act, 1856," the assent of the aboriginal in-
habitants is required to bringing land under the opera-
tion of the said "Native Reserves Act, 1856," the
Governor may, by Order in Council, declare such assent
to have been ascertained, and thereupon the title of the
aboriginal inhabitants in the land to which the same
shall relate shall be deemed to be extinguished, and the
land shall, from the date of such Order in Council,
vest in Her Majesty for the purposes and subject to
the provisions of the said "Native Reserves Act,
1856," as altered by the recited Act, and that as
effectually as if the same had been ceded and con-
veyed by such aboriginal inhabitants to Her Majesty:
Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council, doth hereby declare that the assent of the
aboriginal inhabitants to the bringing the piece of
land described in the Schedule hereunder written,
under the operation of "The Native Reserves Act,
1856," has been ascertained.

holden, the Clerk of the Resident Magistrate's Court
there, if there be one, or a Jury Officer to be ap-
pointed for the jury district of such town in manner
in the said Act mentioned, shall act as Jury Officer
for the jury district of such town, and such
Jury Officer, and all Justices of the Peace,
and the Registrars, Clerks, or other officers
of Courts, constables and officers of police, and

as are thereinbefore required ordinarily to be done at

prepared under the provisions hereinbefore contained:
And whereas sittings of the District Court have
been lawfully directed or appointed to be holden at
Tokomairiro, in the Province of Otago, being a town
other than one at which Courts were then holden:
Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of New Zealand, in exercise of all powers
and authorities in this behalf vested in me by the
said Act, do hereby order that the Jury Officer for
the jury district of Tokomairiro aforesaid, and all
Justices of the Peace, and the Registrars, Clerks,
or other officers of Courts, constables and officers
of police, and Sheriffs, shall, before the first
day of April next, do and perform all such acts,

aforesaid, as are thereinbefore in the said Act
ordinarily required to be done at a different time or
period.

And I do order that, for the purposes aforesaid, the
words in the sections of the said Juries Act, 1868,
specified in the first column of the Schedule hereto,
shall respectively be construed and read as if the
