Lands withdrawn from Gold Field, Province of
Westland.

(L.S.) JAMES FERGUSSON, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS it is enacted by the forty-eighth section
of "The Gold Fields Act, 1866," that any district
proclaimed or to be proclaimed a gold field shall not
be subject to any provisions of any Waste Lands Act
or of any other law for the time being in force
regulating the sale, disposal, and occupation of Crown
lands within the Province in which such gold field is
situate, except so far as such provisions may relate to
the granting of mineral leases, or to the issue of
leases or licenses for any of the following pur-
poses:-Cutting and felling of timber; raising of
lignite and coal; removal of clay for bricks and
pottery; removal of sand, gravel, and stone; working
of quarries; sites for saw mills, flour mills, tan-
nieries, fellmongers' yards, slaughter yards, pot-
teries, and brick-kilns; or to the occupation of
land under any depasturing lease or license granted
before the issue of the Proclamation establishing
such gold field, or to land theretofore or which there-
after may be reserved for any public use or purpose;
or except so far as such provisions may specially
authorize the sale or leasing of land within a gold
field: Provided that it shall be lawful for the
Governor at any time subsequent to the proclamation
of a gold field to withdraw by Proclamation there-
from any Crown lands which he may deem it necessary
to withdraw, and such lands shall thenceforth be dealt
with, sold, occupied and disposed of under any law or
laws for the time being in force regulating the sale,
occupation, or disposal of, or in any way affecting
or relating to the management or dealing with,
the Crown lands within the Province in which such
gold field is situate, in like manner in every respect as
though such lands had never been comprised in any
proclaimed gold field: And whereas, by Proclamations
bearing date the twenty-second day of April, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, and the
thirtieth day of June, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-eight, and the seventeenth day of Sep-
tember, one thousand eight hundred and seventy,
certain lands, including the lands mentioned or

described in the Schedule hereto, were under and
by virtue of the said Act proclaimed and declared
to be a gold field; and whereas it is desirable and
expedient to withdraw from the said gold field the
lands mentioned or described in the said Schedule:
Now therefore, I, Sir James Fergusson, Baronet, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pur-
suance and exercise of every power and authority
enabling me in that behalf, do hereby proclaim and
declare that the lands in the said Schedule hereto
mentioned are hereby withdrawn from the said
gold field.
