Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The New Zealand Settlements
Act, 1863," it is provided that, after setting
apart sufficient land for all persons who shall be
entitled thereto under the contracts therein referred
to, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to
cause towns to be surveyed and laid out, and also
suburban and rural allotments; and that all such
town, suburban, and rural lands shall be sold, occu-
pied, and disposed of for such prices, in such manner,
and for such purposes, upon such terms, and subject
to such regulations, as the Governor in Council shall
from time to time prescribe for that purpose:

And whereas by "The New Zealand Settlements
Amendment and Continuance Act, 1865," it is
enacted that the order and manner in which land
taken under the authority of "The New Zealand
Settlements Act, 1863," and "The New Zealand
Settlements Amendment and Continuance Act, 1865,"
should be laid out for sale and sold, should be at the
discretion of the Governor, who shall have power to
cause such land, or any part thereof, to be laid out
for sale and sold from time to time, in such manner,
for such consideration, and in such allotments as he
shall think fit, and subject to such regulations as he
shall, with the advice of the Executive Council,
from time to time prescribe: And whereas
by "The New Zealand Settlements Amendment
Act, 1866," it is provided that the said lands
shall be sold for such consideration or at such
price, and whether for cash or otherwise, as the
Governor shall from time to time prescribe, and that
all lands taken under the authority of the said "New
Zealand Settlements Act, 1863," and "The New
Zealand Settlements Amendment and Continuance
Act, 1865," or either of them, and sold or disposed of
under the authority of the said first-recited Act,
shall be sold or disposed of under regulations to be
made by the Governor in Council, which regulations
shall be published in the New Zealand Gazette :

And whereas by "The Carrington Land Grant
Act, 1871," it was provided that the Governor might
issue to Frederick Alonzo Carrington, therein men-
tioned, a Land Order authorizing him to purchase, to
the amount of fifteen hundred pounds, any of the
lands of the Crown in the Province of Taranaki open
for sale or selection, without payment in cash, at
auction, or by selection without auction, but subject
in every respect to the Regulations regulating the
sale of such lands :

And whereas it is expedient that the lands described
in the Schedule hereto, being lands in the Province of
Taranaki taken under and subject to the provisions
of the said recited Acts, should be sold to the said
Frederick Alonzo Carrington at and for the price of
fifteen hundred pounds, and that the said Land Order
issued under the said "Carrington Land Grant Act,
1871," should be received in payment for the same:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
exercise and pursuance of all powers and authorities
enabling him on this behalf, and with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council of New Zealand,
doth hereby order that all the land described in the
Schedule hereto, being lands within the Province of
Taranaki taken under and subject to the provisions
of the said recited Acts, shall be sold by the Colonial
Secretary to the said Frederick Alonzo Carrington
at and for the price of fifteen hundred pounds, if the
said Frederick Alonzo Carrington do, on or before
the ninth day of October, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-two, notify to the Colonial Secretary his
willingness to purchase the same, and in such case
the said Land Order may be received in payment for
the same.
