Changing the Purposes of Reserves.

NORMANBY, Governor.

WHEREAS by "The Land Act, 1877," it is,
amongst other things, enacted that it shall be
lawful for the Governor to change the specific pur-
pose for which any land has theretofore been set
apart as a reserve, or to make such change in respect
of a portion only of such reserve; but no change
shall be made in the specific purpose for which any
such reserve shall have been set apart until after a
public notice of such intended change has been in-
serted in the Gazette for four consecutive weeks:

And whereas the pieces of land described in the
first column of the Schedule hereto were respectively
heretofore set apart as reserves for the several
specific purposes specified in the said column: And
whereas, it being considered expedient that, as regards
the several portions of the lands so reserved as afore-
said which are described in the second column of the
Schedule hereto, the said specific purposes should be
changed to the specific purposes specified in the
third column of the said Schedule, the Governor did,
in pursuance of the provisions of the one hundred
and forty-eighth section of "The Land Act, 1877,"
cause previous notices of such intended change to
be inserted in the New Zealand Gazettes of the 21st
and 28th of February, and the 7th and 14th of March,
1878, respectively:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, do hereby, in exercise and pursuance
of the powers and authorities vested in me by "The
Land Act, 1877," change the specific purposes of
those portions of the several reserves described in the
second column of the said Schedule to the specific
purposes set opposite such portions respectively in
the third column of the said Schedule; and such
portions shall henceforth be deemed to be reserved
and set apart for such last-mentioned specific pur-
poses and none other.
