1872," it is, amongst other things, enacted
that it shall be lawful for the Governor, if he think
fit, on the recommendation of the Superintendent
and Provincial Council, from time to time, by Pro-
clamation published in the New Zealand Gazette, to
constitute into a hundred any portion of the waste
lands not forming any part of any hundred previously
proclaimed, notwithstanding that such lands or any
part thereof shall be comprised within any pastoral
lease or license theretofore or thereafter to be granted
by the Crown under any law regulating the occupation
or disposal of waste lands, and whether or not the
same shall have been included within the boundaries
of any proclaimed gold field:

And whereas by the said Act it is also further

any hundred shall be constituted, it shall be the duty
of the Commissioner of Crown Lands and Chief
Surveyor to certify to the Governor that in their
opinion not less than one third part of the area of
such hundred is land available for agriculture:

of Otago and the Provincial Council of the said
province have recommended that the waste lands
