and Provincial Council, from time to time, by Pro-

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
provided that no hundred shall be constituted which
shall consist wholly of land unsuitable for agriculture
and adapted for pastoral purposes only, and before
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:
