for such consideration, and in such allotments as he
shall think fit, and subject to such regulations as he
shall, with the advice of the Executive Council, from
time to time prescribe:

And whereas by "The New Zealand Settlements

shall be published in the New Zealand 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same is expressly or impliedly altered or repealed by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 effect any
contract, promise, or agreement made by or on behalf
of Her Majesty thereunder previously to the coming
