vided that all lands not included in any of the fore-
going regulations of the said Act should be open for
sale as rural land at the fixed price of twenty shillings
per acre; provided always that if at any time the
Superintendent and Provincial Council of the said
Province should recommend the Governor to raise
such price, then it should be lawful for the Governor
in Council, if he should see fit, to raise such price
in accordance with such recommendation: And
whereas by "The Otago and Southland Union Act,
1870," it was enacted that on and after the day when
the said Act should come into operation the Province
of Southland should cease to be a separate Province,
and the said Province and the Province of Otago, as
existing immediately before the coming into operation
of the said Act, should together be one Province by
the name of the "Province of Otago" as and in
manner therein particularly mentioned; and by the
said Act provision was also made that within that
part of the Province constituted by the now reciting
Act, which, before the coming into operation thereof,
was included in the Province of Southland, all laws
and Ordinances in force therein should be and con-
tinue in force until altered or repealed as therein
mentioned: And whereas the said firstly herein-
before mentioned Act is still in force within that part
of the Province of Otago formerly comprised in the
Province of Southland: And whereas the Superin-
tendent and Provincial Council of the Province of
Otago have recommended the Governor to raise the
price of the land hereinafter mentioned within the
limits of the late Province of Southland to sixty
shillings an acre:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of
New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of all
powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf,
and by and with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of the said Colony, doth hereby
order and declare that with respect to that portion
of the Province of Otago which was comprised within
the Province of Southland as existing immediately
before the coming into operation of "The Otago and
Southland Union Act, 1870," the price of all lands
therein subject to the hereinbefore recited provision
of "The Southland Waste Lands Act, 1865," shall
be raised to sixty shillings per acre: And in further
pursuance of the said powers and authorities, and
with the like advice and consent as aforesaid, it is
ordered that this Order shall take effect from the
date thereof.

Approved in Council.
