Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The New Zealand Settlements
Act, 1863," it is provided that, after setting
apart sufficient land for all persons who shall be
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
town, suburban, and rural land shall be sold, occupied,
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
Amendment 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 considera-
tion, 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 Amendment Act, 1866," it is provided
that the said lands 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 disposed of under the
which regulations shall be published in the New
Zealand Gazette :

And whereas under the hereinbefore in part recited
powers, the Governor in Council did, on the eleventh
day of May, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
one, make and issue certain regulations for the sale
and disposal of confiscated lands as therein provided:

And whereas the said regulations provide for the
making of reserves of such lands for the purposes
therein specified, and it is provided that the purposes
for which any reserves have been made may be
changed or the reservation of the same withdrawn by
the Government, but so that no change or withdrawal
shall be made except after notice of three months in
the New Zealand Gazette, and by special order of the
Governor in Council: And whereas the said parcels
of land hereinafter particularly mentioned have been
reserved and set apart under regulations made under
the authority of the said in part recited Acts, and it
is expedient that they should cease to be reserves:

And whereas in accordance with the said regulations
of the eleventh day of May, one thousand eight hun-
dred and seventy-one, three months' notice of the
intention of the Government to withdraw the same
has been duly given in the New Zealand Gazette :

Now, therefore, His Excellency, in pursuance and
exercise of the power and authority vested in him in
that behalf, doth hereby, with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the Colony of New
Zealand, order and declare that the several parcels of
land mentioned and described in the Schedule hereto
