among other things, 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 to
delegate to the Superintendent of any province, or

all or any of the powers vested in the Governor or
the Governor in Council by this Act, except the
powers conferred by sections twenty-two, forty,
forty-eight, sixty, ninety-six, and one hundred and
seven thereof, subject or not to any limitations or
restrictions as he may think fit, and in like manner
to alter or revoke any such powers: And whereas,
by an Order in Council made and issued under the
authority of the said Act, bearing date the sixteenth
day of November last past, and published in the

that certain of such powers should be delegated as
hereinafter mentioned:
Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of the said Colony, and in pursu-
ance and exercise of the power and authority vested
in me by the said Act, do hereby delegate unto

sixth, and forty-seventh sections of the said Act,
and as the same sections or any of them may be
amended by any subsequent Act: And with the like
advice and consent as aforesaid, I do hereby order
and declare that the powers hereby delegated shall be
exercised and performed by the said James Pillans
Maitland within the Provincial District of Otago,

missioner of Crown Lands as aforesaid; and that all
such powers shall be exercised in accordance with
any regulations now in force under the said Act, or
that may hereafter be in force, so far as the same
relate to the said powers hereby delegated, and
subject also to the consent and approval of the
Waste Land Board of the said provincial district:
And lastly, with the like advice and consent as afore-
said, and in further pursuance and exercise of the
said power and authority, I do hereby revoke the
said Order in Council of the sixteenth day of Novem-
ber last, and the delegations thereby conferred, but
so far only as the same affects the powers delegated
by this present Order in Council or may be inconsis-

or intended so to be.
