A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS it is enacted by the forty-eighth
section of "The Gold Fields Act, 1866," that
any district proclaimed or to be proclaimed a gold
field shall not be subject to any provisions of any
Waste Lands Act, or of any other law for the time
being in force regulating the sale, disposal, and occu-
pation of Crown lands within the province in which
such gold field is situate, except so far as such pro-
visions may relate to the granting of mineral leases,
or to the issue of leases or licenses for any of the
following purposes:--Cutting and felling of timber;
raising of lignite and coal; removal of clay for bricks
and pottery; removal of sand, gravel, and stone;
working of quarries; sites for saw-mills, flour-mills,
tanneries, fellmongers' yards, slaughter yards, pot-
teries, and brick kilns; or to the occupation of land
under any depasturing lease or license granted
before the issue of the Proclamation establishing
such gold field, or to land theretofore or which there-
after may be reserved for any public use or purpose;
or except so far as such provisions may specially
authorize the sale or leasing of land within a gold
field: Provided that it shall be lawful for the
Governor at any time subsequent to the proclamation
of a gold field to withdraw by Proclamation there-
from any Crown lands which he may deem it neces-
sary to withdraw, and such lands shall thenceforth be
dealt with, sold, occupied, and disposed of under any
law or laws for the time being in force regulating the
sale, occupation, or disposal of, or in any way affect-
ing or relating to the management of or dealing with,
the Crown lands within the province in which such
gold field is situate, in like manner in every respect
as though such lands had never been comprised in
any proclaimed gold field: And whereas, by Pro-
clamations bearing date the twenty-second day of
April, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight,
and the thirtieth day of June, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-eight, and the seventeenth day of

Now therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Administrator of the
