(L.S.) NORMANBY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the sixty-first section of "The
Immigration and Public Works Act Amend-
ment Act, 1871," it is enacted that in any province
in which there are not at any time, in the opinion of
the Governor, waste lands of the Crown set apart or
taken under the provisions of the said "Immigration
and Public Works Act Amendment Act, 1871," or
any other Act, for the purpose of furnishing means
for defraying the costs of railways or other like
purposes connected with railways, sufficient in
quantity and suitable in quality and situation for
settling immigrants, the Governor, on the recom-
mendation of the Minister, may from time to time,
by Proclamation published in the New Zealand
Gazette, reserve and set apart any waste lands of the
Crown within such province for the purposes of
immigration, and to be dealt with under the said
Act:

And whereas by Proclamation bearing date the
ninth day of February, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-five, I, the Most Honorable the Marquis
of Normanby, Governor of the Colony of New Zea-
land, did, under the powers conferred upon me by the
said Act, reserve and set apart the land referred
to in the said Proclamation for the purposes therein
set forth:

And whereas it has been represented to me that
the lands so reserved and set apart by the said
Proclamation are insufficient in quantity for the
purposes aforesaid:

Now, therefore, I, the Most Honorable the Marquis
of Normanby, Governor of the Colony of New Zea-
land, in exercise and pursuance of the powers vested

recommendation of the Minister for Immigration,
do, by this Proclamation, reserve and set apart the
land described in the Schedule hereto, being waste
lands of the Crown within the Province of Westland,
for the purposes of immigration, and to be dealt with

clamation bearing date the ninth day of February,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five.
