the owners might be willing to sell, convey, or sur-
render, as therein mentioned: And whereas by "The

Immigration and Public Works Act, 1873," it is
enacted that whenever the Governor is satisfied that
any lands purchased out of the sums of two hundred
thousand (200,000) pounds and five hundred thousand
(500,000) pounds therein mentioned are free from
Native claims and all difficulties in connection there-
with, he shall by Proclamation declare such lands
to be waste lands of the Crown, subject, except as
hereafter provided, to be sold and dealt with accord-
ing to the provisions of the laws for the time being
in force in the province in which such land is,
regulating the sale and disposal of waste lands of
the Crown within such province; and thereupon
such lands so proclaimed shall become subject to
such provisions: And whereas the lands described
in the Schedule hereto have been purchased out of

declared to be applicable for the purchase of lands in
the North Island under the provisions of Part Four
(IV.) of "The Immigration and Public Works Act,

that the said lands should be declared to be waste
lands as hereinafter set forth: Now therefore, I, the
Most Honorable George Augustus Constantine, Mar-
quis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony of
New Zealand, being satisfied that the lands described
in the Schedule hereto are free from Native claims
and all difficulties in connection therewith, in pur-
suance and exercise of the power and authority
vested in me by "The Immigration and Public Works
Act, 1873," do hereby proclaim and declare the said
lands to be waste lands of the Crown, subject (except
as by the said Act is provided) to be sold and dealt
with according to the provisions of the laws for the
time being in force in the Province of Taranaki
regulating the sale and disposal of waste lands of the
