District; and it is provided that the Governor may
from time to time alter or revoke any such Procla-
mation, and issue a new Proclamation dividing the
colony or any portion of it anew into districts, or
increasing the number of districts, or altering the
boundaries of any district or districts, as from time
to time he may think requisite; and further, that the
districts existing at the time of the coming into
operation of the said Act, under any of the Acts
thereby repealed, shall, until altered under the said
Act, be deemed to be districts proclaimed under the
said Act:

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the thirteenth day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, the then
Governor, in pursuance of the power and authority
vested in him by "The Registration Act, 1858," did,
amongst others, constitute a district for the purposes
of the last-mentioned Act, called the "Waimea"
District, the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth:

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said Proclamation as relates to the said district,
and to divide anew the territory formerly comprised
within such district:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the said
colony, in pursuance and exercise of the power and
authority vested in me by the said recited Act, do
hereby revoke the said Proclamation so far as it
relates to the Waimea District, and do proclaim and
declare that the territory comprised within such dis-
trict shall be and the same is otherwise divided, for
the purposes of the said Act, into two districts, the
names, the boundaries whereof shall be as follow:—

WAIMEA DISTRICT.

Bounded on the North and North-east from the
sea coast by the Chesterfield Road, part of the
Greenstone Road, and the Junction Road loop line;
thence on the west by the Christchurch Road and
by the western bank of the Waimea or Blake River
to its junction with the Teremakau River; thence on
the north and north-west by the south bank of the
Teremakau River to the saddle between the sources
of the Hurunui and Teremakau Rivers; thence on
the south-east by the main range to the Arahura
River; on the South by the Arahura River to the
sea coast; and on the West by the sea coast to the
Chesterfield Road aforesaid, the commencing point.

KUMARA DISTRICT.

Bounded on the Southward from the sea coast by
the Chesterfield Road, part of the Greenstone Road,
and the Junction Road loop line; on the South-east-
ward by the Christchurch Road and by the western
bank of the Waimea or Blake River to its junction
with the Teremakau River; thence on the Northward
by the south side of the Teremakau River; and on
the Westward by the sea coast to the Chesterfield
Road aforesaid.

And I hereby declare that this Proclamation shall
come into operation and take effect on the fifteenth
day of December, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-six.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the
Most Honorable George Augustus Con-
stantine, Marquis of Normanby, Earl
of Mulgrave, Viscount Normanby, and
Baron Mulgrave of Mulgrave, all in the
County of York, in the Peerage of the
United Kingdom; and Baron Mulgrave
of New Ross, in the County of Wexford,

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 consideration, and in such allot-
ments as he shall think fit, and subject to such regu-
lations 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 authority of the said
"New Zealand Settlements Act, 1863," and the

lations to be made by the Governor in Council,
which regulations shall be published in the New Zea-
land Gazette :

And whereas by section five of "The Waste Lands
Administration Act, 1876," it is provided that all
Proclamations, Orders in Council, and Regulations
relating to confiscated lands, and every Waste Lands
Act in force at the time of the passing of the said
Act within any land district, shall, except so far as
the same is expressly or impliedly altered or repealed
by the said "Waste Lands Administration Act, 1876,"
continue in force, and that no such repeal or amend-
ment, whether express or implied, shall affect any
contract, promise, or agreement made by or on behalf
of Her Majesty thereunder, previously to the coming
into operation of the said Waste Lands Administra-
tion Act, and then incomplete or unfulfilled:

And whereas a promise hath been made to the per-
son mentioned in the Regulations hereunder with
respect to the land therein specified, and that the said
land should be sold to the said person as by the said
Regulations provided:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
exercise of all powers and authorities vested in him
in that behalf, doth hereby, with the advice and con-
sent of the Executive Council of the Colony, make
the following Regulations for the Sale and Disposal of
