ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
nineteenth day of February, 1874.

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,
occupied, 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 lands
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 allot-
ments as he shall think fit, and subject to such regu-
lations 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, under the hereinbefore in part recited
powers, the Governor in Council did, on the eleventh
day of May, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
one, make and issue certain Regulations for the sale
and disposal of confiscated lands as therein provided:

And whereas the said Regulations provide for the
making of reserves of such lands for the purposes
therein specified; and it is provided that the purposes
for which any reserves have been made may be
changed, or the reservation of the same withdrawn
by the Government, but so that no change or with-
drawal shall be made except after notice of three
months in the New Zealand Gazette, and by special
order of the Governor in Council:

And whereas the several parcels of land hereinafter
particularly mentioned have been reserved and set
apart under the said Regulations, and it is expedient
that they should cease to be such reserves:

And whereas it is further expedient that the
formalities required by the hereinbefore in part
recited regulation should be dispensed with, and
that regulations should be made for the purpose of
enabling the said parcels of land to be sold or dis-
posed of:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
pursuance and exercise of all powers and authorities
vested in him in that behalf, doth hereby, with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of the
Colony of New Zealand, make the following Regula-
tions for the sale and disposal of the parcels of land
mentioned in the Schedule to such Regulations :-

   in the New Zealand Gazette, the 5th, 6th, 7th, 26th,

   tions shall be and the same are hereby repealed in so
   far as respects the several reserves or parcels of land
   mentioned in the Schedule hereto, and such lands
   shall thereafter cease to be reserves for the purposes
   in the said Schedule mentioned, or for any other
   purpose whatsoever under the Confiscated Land
   Regulations.

2. The said parcels of land shall and may be sold
   and disposed of under the said Confiscated Land
   Regulations in like manner as other land subject
   thereto may be sold and disposed of; and, subject to

   the said Confiscated Land Regulations shall, in so far
   as applicable, extend and apply to the said parcels of
   land and the sale or disposition thereof.

3. For the purposes of these Regulations, the term
   "Confiscated Land Regulations" shall mean the
   Regulations attached to and made by the Order in
   Council of the 11th day of May, 1871, hereinbefore
   mentioned.
