NORMANBY, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Auckland, this
fifteenth day of May, 1876.
Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand, intituled "The Native
Reserves Amendment Act, 1862," it is, amongst
other things, provided that where, under the pro-
visions of "The Native Reserves Act, 1856," the
assent of the aboriginal inhabitants is required to
bringing land under the operation of the said
"Native Reserves Act, 1856," the Governor may, by
Order in Council, declare such assent to have been
ascertained; and thereupon the title of the aboriginal
inhabitants in the land to which the same shall relate
shall be deemed to be extinguished, and the lands
shall, from the date of such Order in Council, vest
in Her Majesty for the purposes and subject to the
provisions of the said "Native Reserves Act, 1856,"
as altered by the hereinbefore in part recited Act,
and that as effectually as if the same had been ceded
and conveyed by such aboriginal inhabitants to Her
Majesty: And whereas it hath been certified and
reported to the Governor by Alexander Mackay,
Esquire, a person duly appointed in that behalf, that
the aboriginal inhabitants entitled to the several pieces
or parcels of land described in the Schedule hereto,
have assented that the said several pieces or parcels
of land shall be subject to the provisions of "The
New Zealand Native Reserves Act, 1856":
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by
