ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this eleventh day of May, 1877.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by “The Gold Fields Act, 1874,” it is enacted, that notwithstanding anything contained in “The Gold Fields Act, 1866,” it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, under regulations to be made in that behalf from time to time, to grant to any occupant of land under business license in the Township of Ross, in the Province of Westland, who has improved such land to the satisfaction of the Warden of the district, a lease, for any term not exceeding twenty-one years, of the surface of such land, at such rates of payment for rent, and under such restrictions as to the use thereof, as he may think necessary; and such lease shall entitle the holder thereof to all the rights and privileges now enjoyed by holders of business licenses:

And whereas by virtue of the aforesaid enactment His Excellency the Governor, by Order in Council, on the fifth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, did prescribe certain Regulations under which leases might be granted to occupants of land under business licenses in the Township of Ross, in the Provincial District of Westland, who had improved such land to the satisfaction of the Warden of the district, and by the ninth of the aforesaid Regulations the annual rental for each section was fixed at the sum of twenty shillings per annum, payable in advance:

And whereas it is expedient to reduce the amount of such annual rental for each section, and for that purpose it is requisite that the aforesaid ninth Regulation should be revoked, and a fresh Regulation should be made in lieu thereof:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in exercise of all powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, doth hereby, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the colony, revoke the aforesaid ninth Regulation annexed to the hereinbefore recited Order in Council of the fifth day of January, 1875, and in lieu and instead of the same doth hereby make the Regulation set forth hereunder:—

REGULATION.

The annual rental for each section shall be the sum of ten shillings per annum, payable in advance.
