A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the eighth section of "The Canter-
bury Public Domains Act, 1872," it is enacted
that the Superintendent of Canterbury, with the
advice and consent of his Executive Council, may,
by Proclamation under his hand, from time to time
delegate all or any of the powers thereby conferred
upon him acting as aforesaid to any person or per-
sons for any period, and subject to such stipulations,
conditions, and limitations as may be specified in
such Proclamation, and every such delegation may
from time to time in like manner alter or revoke:
And whereas by a Proclamation dated the fifth day
of May, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
six, published in the Canterbury Provincial Gazette,
Volume XXIII., No. XVII., page 109, the Superin-
tendent of the Province of Canterbury, with the
advice of his Executive Council, delegated unto
certain persons therein named, and called "The

sons therein mentioned, of the powers thereby dele-
gated:

tion so far as regards the delegation to the persons

   year.
5. This delegation of powers to the Board shall not
   in any way affect any lease or contract now in force
   between the Superintendent and any person or per-
   sons in respect of any portion of the lands named in
   the Schedule to "The Canterbury Public Domains
   Act, 1872," nor any agreement between the said
   Superintendent and any person or persons in respect
   of the dedication of any portion of the said lands to
   any purpose of public recreation or amusement..
6. This alteration shall not destroy or affect the
   validity of instruments executed or acts done during
