ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
sixteenth day of November, 1874.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

W HEREAS by "The New Zealand Settlements
Amendment and Continuance Act, 1865," it
is enacted that the order and manner in which land
taken under the authority of "The New Zealand
Settlements Act, 1863," and "The New Zealand
Settlements 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 allot-
ments 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 Amend-
ment 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 Governor
shall from time to time prescribe, and that all lands
taken under 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
by Orders in Council issued under the hereinbefore
in part recited Acts, dated respectively the 11th day
of May, 1871, and the 8th day of March, 1873, the
Governor did make certain Regulations for the sale
and disposal of the lands taken under the said Acts as
in the said Orders in Council particularly set forth:
And whereas it is expedient, that provision should be
made for the sale and disposal to the trustees of any
religious body, denomination, or society, of pieces or
parcels of town lands, subject to the said Regulations,
in the manner hereinafter provided :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
exercise of all powers and authorities vested in him
in that behalf, doth hereby, with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council of the colony,
make the following Regulations for the sale and dis-
posal of the lands taken under the said Acts, or
either or any of them, which are mentioned in the
following Regulations, that is to say :-

REGULATIONS.

1. Notwithstanding anything contained in the said
   Regulations of the 11th day of May, 1871, it shall be
   lawful for the officers in charge of confiscated lands,
   by private contract to sell to the trustees of any
   religious denomination, body, or society, any pieces
   or parcels of town land, subject to the said Regula-
   tions, and not otherwise disposed of, at the price
   hereinafter mentioned, as sites for churches, chapels,
   and other buildings, connected therewith; but no
   such religious denomination, body, or society shall,
   by virtue hereof, be entitled to purchase more than
   one-half acre of any such land in one town.

2. The persons entitled to purchase such land
   shall be allowed to do so at the upset price for the
   time being payable for town lands, subject to the said
   Regulations.

3. The purchase money for such lands shall be
   paid to the officers in charge of confiscated lands, or
   to other proper officers for the time being authorized
   to receive the same, and as soon as conveniently
   may be thereafter, grants for such lands shall be
   issued to the respective trustees of such denomina-
   tions, bodies, or societies, and their successors; and
   for the purposes of these Regulations the term
   "trustees" shall, with reference to any such denomi-
   nation, body, or society, be deemed to mean the
   person or persons, or body, ecclesiastical or secular,
   to whom or to which, in the opinion of the Governor,
   such grant will, according to the usages or practices
   of such denomination, body, or society, be most
   fittingly made.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
