A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Otago Waste Lands Act,
1872," it is, amongst other things, enacted
that it shall be lawful for the Governor, if he think
fit, on the recommendation of the Superintendent
and Provincial Council, from time to time, by Procla-
mation published in the New Zealand Gazette, to
constitute into a hundred any portion of the waste
lands not forming any part of any hundred pre-
viously proclaimed, notwithstanding that such lands
or any part thereof shall be comprised within any
pastoral lease or license theretofore or thereafter to
be granted by the Crown under any law regulating
the occupation or disposal of waste lands, and
whether or not the same shall have been included
within the boundaries of any proclaimed gold field:

And whereas by the said Act it is also further
provided, that no hundred shall be constituted which
shall consist wholly of land unsuitable for agriculture,
and adapted for pastoral purposes only; and before
any hundred shall be constituted, it shall be the duty
of the Commissioner of Crown Lands and Chief Sur-
veyor to certify to the Governor that in their opinion
not less than one-third part of the area of such
hundred is land available for agriculture:

And whereas the Superintendent of the Province
of Otago and the Provincial Council of the said
Province have recommended that each of the eight
portions of waste lands particularly described in the
eight Schedules hereto respectively should be pro-
claimed to be a hundred under the provisions of the
said Act:

And whereas the said eight portions respectively
do not form part of any hundred previously pro-
claimed; and the Commissioner of Crown Lands and
the Chief Surveyor of the said province have, in
accordance with the hereinbefore recited provisions of the said Act, certified to the Governor, as to
each of such portions hereinafter in the said eight
Schedules respectively described, that in their opinion
not less than one-third part of the area thereof
respectively is land available for agriculture:

And whereas it is expedient that effect should be
given to the said recommendation of the Superin-
tendent and Provincial Council of the Province of
Otago:

Now therefore I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers and authority vested in me by the hereinbe-
fore in part recited Act, do hereby proclaim that
each of the eight portions of the waste lands par-
ticularly described in the eight Schedules hereto re-
spectively shall be and the same is hereby constituted
into a hundred under and for the purposes of the
said Act; and that each shall be called or known by
the name set above the description of the said
hundred in the eight Schedules hereto respectively.
