WHEREAS by "The Public Buildings Reserves
Act, 1867," it is enacted that whenever any
land not included in any Crown grant, in any pro-
vince, shall have been or shall be reserved for any
public purpose whatever by the Superintendent and
Provincial Council of any province, and shall have
been or shall be appropriated, set apart, or used as the
site of any Post Office, Custom House, Magistrate's
Court, Gaol, Telegraph Office, or any other public
building for the use of the General Government or
any department thereof, or for any purpose of public
utility or convenience connected with the General
Government administration, it shall be lawful for
the Governor after he shall have received a resolu-
tion agreed to by the Superintendent and Provincial
Council of such province for the time being, to declare,
by a Proclamation published in the Government
Gazette, that such land shall thenceforth cease to be
a reserve for the public purpose for which the same
shall have been originally reserved, and the same shall
be a reserve for such public purpose as the Governor
shall declare in and by such Proclamation; and
thereupon such land shall thenceforth be deemed to
be land reserved under the twelfth section of "The
Waste Lands Act, 1858," and subject to be dealt
with as such:

hundred and seventy-four, pass a resolution recom-
mending that the reserve described in the Schedule

to the same:

Now therefore, know ye that I, Sir James Fer-
gusson, Baronet, the Governor of the Colony of New
Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and
authority vested in me by the Act aforesaid and by
"The Waste Lands Act, 1858," do hereby declare
that the land described in the said Schedule hereto
shall henceforth be a reserve as a site for a Telegraph
and Post Office.
