New Zealand having, under the powers in him

shown and delineated on a certain map or survey
plan marked A. 403, and which said portion of road
is also described in a certain Proclamation made
under the said Act, and published in the same
Gazette as that in which this notice appears:

person or persons affected by the making of the said
portion of the road from Tauranga to Taupo, ex-
tending from Oropi to the Confiscation Boundary, are

Governor, and left at the office of the said Public
Works Department at Tauranga, aforesaid, within

NOTIFICATION.
WHEREAS by the thirty-fourth section of "The
Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870," it
is enacted that the Governor may from time to time,
in the name and on behalf of Her Majesty, purchase
or in any wise acquire any land in the North Island
of New Zealand, or any interests therein which the
owners thereof may be willing to sell, convey, or
surrender: And whereas by the third section of
"The Immigration and Public Works Act, 1874,"
after reciting the above provision, and that under
and by virtue of the authority thereof, the Governor
has acquired divers leases or agreements for leases of
lands from the Native owners thereof, and in such
leases and agreements stipulations are contained that
the lessors or Native owners shall not sell the lands
affected thereby to any person but Her Majesty, or
stipulations to the same effect or of a like kind: And
that it is expedient during the currency of such
leases or agreements, and until the Governor has
exercised his option to purchase the land affected
thereby, that all persons should be prohibited from
purchasing or acquiring any right, title, or interest
in such lands, except from Her Majesty: It is
enacted that it shall not be lawful for any person
whatsoever to purchase or acquire any right, title,
or interest, except from Her Majesty, in any lands
in the North Island of New Zealand, any such lease
or agreement for lease, as aforesaid, of which has
been acquired by or on behalf of the Governor or
Her Majesty, under the powers contained in the
said "Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870," or
any Act amending the same: Provided, however,
that the restrictions imposed by the now reciting
section, shall cease to have any force or effect in
respect of any lands the leases of which shall have
expired by effluxion of time, or shall have been
otherwise determined:
And by the said section it is also further enacted,
that all lands to which the provisions of such section
apply shall be notified by the Governor in the New
Zealand Gazette; and that such notice may, unless
the lands have been accurately surveyed, describe
the land in such manner as the Governor shall think
sufficient, and shall specify the period of the lease
or agreement for lease; and every such notice shall
be conclusive evidence that the lands described
therein are and remain subject to the provisions of
such section during the period specified in such
notice, and no deeds or other documents purporting
to affect such lands, contrary to such section, shall
be of any force or validity or be registered in the
Register of Deeds:
And whereas leases or agreements for leases of
the lands described in the first column of the Sche-
