ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
fifth day of September, 1874.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The New Zealand Settlements
Act, 1863," it is provided that, after setting
apart sufficient land for all persons who shall be
entitled thereto under the contracts therein refer-
red to, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to
cause towns to be surveyed and laid out, and also
suburban and rural allotments; and that all such
town, suburban, and rural lands shall be sold, occu-
pied, and disposed of for such prices, in such manner,
and for such purposes, upon such terms and subject
to such regulations, as the Governor in Council shall
from time to time prescribe for that purpose:

And whereas by "The New Zealand Settlements
Amendment and Continuance Act, 1865," it is en-
acted that the order and manner in which land taken
under the authority of "The New Zealand Settle-
ments Act, 1863," and "The New Zealand Settle-
ments Amendment and Continuance Act, 1865,"
should be laid out for sale and sold, should be
at the discretion of the Governor, who shall have
power to cause such land or any part thereof
to be laid out for sale and sold from time to time
in such manner, for such consideration, and in such
allotments as he shall think fit, and subject to such
regulations as he shall, with the advice of the Execu-
tive Council, from time to time prescribe:

And whereas by "The New Zealand Settlements
Amendment Act, 1866," it is provided that the said
lands shall be sold for such consideration or at such
price, and whether for cash or otherwise, as the Go-
vernor shall from time to time prescribe; and that
all lands taken under the authority of the said "New
Zealand Settlements Act, 1863," and "The New
Zealand Settlements Amendment and Continuance
Act, 1865," or either of them, and sold or disposed of
under the authority of the said first-recited Act, shall
be sold or disposed of under regulations to be made
by the Governor in Council, which regulations shall
be published in the New Zealand Gazette :

And whereas under the hereinbefore in part recited
powers, the Governor in Council did, on the eleventh
day of May, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
one, make and issue certain regulations for the sale
and disposal of confiscated lands as therein provided:

And whereas the said regulations provide for the
making of reserves of such lands for the purposes
therein specified, and it is provided that the purposes
for which any reserves have been made may be
changed, or the reservation of the same withdrawn
by the Government, but so that no change or with-
drawal shall be made except after notice of three
months in the New Zealand Gazette, and by special
Order of the Governor in Council :

And whereas the parcel of land hereinafter par-
ticularly mentioned has been reserved and set apart
under regulations made under the authority of the
said in part recited Acts, and it is expedient that the
purpose of the same should be changed:

And whereas in accordance with the said regula-
tions of the eleventh day of May, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-one, three months' notice of the
intention of the Government to change the purpose
of the reserve has been duly given in the New Zea-
land Gazette:

Now therefore, His Excellency Sir James Fergus-
son, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in
pursuance and exercise of the power and authority
vested in him in that behalf doth hereby, with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of the
Colony, order and declare that the purpose of the

hereto shall be and the same is hereby changed to
the purpose specified in the said Schedule.
