WHEREAS by "The Otago Waste Lands Act,
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
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:
And whereas the Superintendent of the Province
of Otago and the Provincial Council of the said
province have recommended that the waste lands
particularly described in the Schedule hereto should
be proclaimed to be a hundred under the provisions
of the said Act: And whereas the said lands do not
form part of any hundred previously proclaimed, and

Surveyor of the said province have, in accordance
with the hereinbefore recited provisions of the said
Act, certified to the Governor, as to such lands herein-
after in the said Schedule described, that in their

thereof is land available for agriculture:
And whereas it is expedient that effect should be
given to the said recommendation of the Superin-
tendent and Provincial Council of the Province of

the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pur-
suance and exercise of the powers and authority
vested in me by the hereinbefore in part recited Act,
