HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The New Zealand Settlements

entitled thereto under the contracts therein referred
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
towns, 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 Amend-
ment 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 Amend-
ment 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 Executive Council, from time to
time prescribe:

And whereas by "The New Zealand Settlements

land 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 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 by an Order in Council made under the
hereinbefore in part recited Acts, on the fourth day
of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
four, the Governor did make certain Regulations for
the sale and disposal of the lands taken under the
said Acts as therein mentioned: And whereas it is

forth:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Marquis of
