A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1874," (hereinafter referred to as
"the said Act,") it is, amongst other things, enacted
that whenever, by virtue of any Proclamation made
under the sixth section of "The Immigration and
Public Works Act, 1873," any lands shall have been
declared to be waste lands of the Crown in the man-
ner provided in the said section, it shall be lawful
for the Governor from time to time by Proclamation
to take effect from a day to be named therein, or
without naming any such day, to withdraw all or any
part or parts of such lands from the operation of the
provisions of the said sixth section: Provided that
nothing in the now reciting Act contained, shall
prejudice or affect the sale of any such lands or any
part or parts thereof, or any contract or agreement
for the sale of any such lands or any part or parts
thereof made before any such Proclamation shall
take effect as aforesaid:

And whereas by Proclamation bearing date the
twenty-fourth day of June last, published in the
New Zealand Gazette of the twenty-fifth June last,
I, Sir James Fergusson, Baronet, the Governor of
New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the
provisions contained in the said sixth section, and
being satisfied that the lands in the Schedule to
the said Proclamation described were free from native
claims and all difficulties in connection therewith, did
proclaim and declare that the said lands, including
amongst others the lands mentioned and described in
the Schedule hereto, should be, and the same did
thereby become, waste lands of the Crown, subject
(except as by the said sixth section is provided) to
be sold and dealt with as in the said Proclamation
mentioned:

And whereas it is expedient that the said lands
described in the Schedule hereto should be withdrawn
from the operation of the provisions of the said
section:

Now therefore, I, the Right Honorable Sir James
Fergusson, Baronet, the Governor of the Colony of
New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the power
and authority vested in me by the said Act, do hereby
proclaim and declare that the lands mentioned and
described in the Schedule hereto shall, from and after

the day of the date hereof, be withdrawn from the
operation of the said sixth section of "The Immi-
gration and Public Works Act, 1873," and the
said last-mentioned lands are hereby released and
discharged from the effect and consequences of the
said hereinbefore recited Proclamation as if the
same had never been made.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the
Right Honorable Sir James Fergusson,
Baronet, a Member of Her Majesty's
Most Honorable Privy Council, Governor
and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her
Majesty's Colony of New Zealand and its
Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the
