And by the said Act it is also provided that it
shall be lawful for the Governor, whenever he shall
have determined to enter into negotiations for the
purchase of such land, to insert a notice in the New
Zealand Gazette that it is his intention to enter into
such negotiations, and after such notice is inserted
it shall not be lawful for any one to purchase or
acquire from the Native owners any right, title, or
interest, or contract for the purchase or acquisition
from the Native owners of any right, title, or in-
terest, in the lands specified in such notice, unless
the notice be cancelled by the Governor: Provided
that no such notice shall have longer operation than
