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

WHEREAS it is enacted by the forty-eighth
section of "The Gold Fields Act, 1866," that
any district proclaimed or to be proclaimed a gold
field shall not be subject to any provisions of any
Waste Lands Act, or of any other law for the time
being in force regulating the sale, disposal, and occu-
pation of Crown lands within the province in which
such gold field is situate, except so far as such pro-
visions may relate to the granting of mineral leases,
or to the issue of leases or licenses for any of the
following purposes:—Cutting and felling of timber;
raising of lignite and coal; removal of clay for bricks
and pottery; removal of sand, gravel, and stone;
working of quarries; sites for saw-mills, flour-mills,
tanneries, fellmongers' yards, slaughter yards, pot-
teries, and brick kilns; or to the occupation of land
under any depasturing lease or license granted before
the issue of the Proclamation establishing such gold
field, or to land theretofore or which thereafter may
be reserved for any public use or purpose; or except
so far as such provisions may specially authorize the
sale or leasing of land within a gold field: Provided
that it shall be lawful for the Governor, at any time
subsequent to the proclamation of a gold field, to
withdraw by Proclamation therefrom any Crown
lands which he may deem it necessary to withdraw;
and such lands shall thenceforth be dealt with, sold,
occupied, and disposed of under any law or laws for
the time being in force regulating the sale, occupa-
tion, or disposal of, or in any way affecting or relating
to the management of or dealing with, the Crown
lands within the province in which such gold field is
situate, in like manner in every respect as though
such lands had never been comprised in any pro-
claimed gold field: And whereas, by Proclamations
bearing date the twenty-second day of April, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, and the
thirtieth day of June, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-eight, and the seventeenth day of September,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy, certain
lands, including the lands mentioned or described in
the Schedule hereto, were under and by virtue of the
said Act proclaimed and declared to be a gold field:
And whereas it is desirable and expedient to with-
draw from the said gold field the lands mentioned or
described in the said Schedule:

Now therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of every
power and authority enabling me in that behalf, do
hereby proclaim and declare that the lands in the
said Schedule hereto mentioned are hereby with-
drawn from the said gold fields.
