owners of any land over which the Native title
has not been extinguished, obtained power from
such Native or other owners to authorize entry on
such lands for mining for gold, by Proclamation
issued under the third section of "The Gold Fields
Act, 1866," to include such land within any gold
field, or to proclaim such land a gold field: And
by the said Act it is further enacted that it shall be
lawful for the Governor in Council, under his hand
and the Public Seal of the colony, from time to time

part recited section of "The Gold Fields Act Amend-

for gold, in the manner required by the said Act.
