WHEREAS by a certain deed made on or about

Colony of New Zealand should reserve and set
apart waste lands of the Crown in and about the
Township of Palmerston, in the Province of Welling-
ton, to the extent of one hundred and six thousand
acres, and waste lands of the Crown in the Town-
ship of Palmerston to the extent of about ten
acres, all such lands as nearly as practicable to be

set apart under the provisions of the Fifth Part of
"The Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870,"
and the Ninth Part of "The Immigration and Public
Works Act Amendment Act, 1871," and that the
Governor should make regulations for the sale,
occupation, and disposal of the lands so reserved, in
such terms as to give the Corporation the immediate
right to occupy the whole thereof (except the bush
reserve thereinafter referred to) until disposed of as
thereinafter mentioned, or until such right was deter-

so reserved should be sold absolutely, but only to
persons approved by the Corporation, under the now
reciting agreement, upon payment by the Corporation

Colony of New Zealand of fifteen shillings for every
acre sold: And whereas by "The Wellington Debts

1871," such waste lands may be set apart and
reserved under the sixty-first section of "The Immi-
gration and Public Works Act Amendment Act,
1871," and be dealt with under regulations made
under the said last-mentioned Act: And whereas by
the said last-mentioned Act, after reciting the herein-

were entertained whether the Governor was empow-
ered to enter into such contracts or to make such
regulations, it is enacted that the Governor shall be
