ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
eleventh day of May, 1878.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Hawke's Bay Special Set-
tlements Act, 1872," as amended by "The
Waste Lands Administration Act, 1876," it is,
among other things, enacted that it shall be lawful
for the Governor, on the recommendation of the
Board, by Proclamation in the Government Gazette
of the said province, to set aside, out of the waste
lands within the Province of Hawke's Bay the
Native title of which has been extinguished, any
block or blocks for the purpose of special settlement
not exceeding in the whole thirty thousand acres, on
such terms as may be sanctioned by the Governor in
Council, anything in the existing regulations for the
management or disposal of the waste lands in the
province to the contrary notwithstanding; provided
always that no land shall be sold at a less price than
land of a similar description is now sold at under
"The Waste Lands Regulations Act, 1858," and
that the proceeds thereof shall be subject to any
lien already imposed thereon by any Act of the
General Assembly:

And whereas on the fourth day of January, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven, the Land
Board of Hawke's Bay recommended the Govern-
ment to set aside a block of land containing two
thousand three hundred acres, part of a block of
land known as the Maharahara Block, for the pur-
pose of special settlement by the members of an
Association known as "The Bushmills Small Farm
Association," upon the terms mentioned in the
Second Schedule hereto: And whereas such recom-
mendation was intended to have been carried into
effect in the manner provided by the said recited
Acts, but the same land has not been nor can
it be so set aside, in consequence of the Native
title thereover not having been extinguished: And
whereas the said Association have requested the
Land Board of Hawke's Bay to recommend to the
Governor to set aside another block of land for the
purposes aforesaid in lieu of the block so recom-
mended as aforesaid, and the Land Board has recom-
mended the Governor to set aside the block of land
described in the First Schedule hereto:

And whereas by "The Land Act, 1877," the herein-
before recited Acts are repealed, but it is enacted
that this repeal shall not affect the past operation of
the said Acts, Ordinances, or land regulations, nor
any matter or thing lawfully done, nor any right,
title, liability, penalty, or forfeiture accrued or in-
curred; and notwithstanding the said repeal, all
Orders in Council, Proclamations, appointments,
awards, orders, and rules or regulations made under
the said Acts, and in force at the time of the com-
mencement of this Act, shall continue and be in
force for the purpose of continuing and perfecting
any matter or thing commenced or in progress there-
under, as if this Act had not been passed:

And whereas it is intended that the block of land
described in the First Schedule hereto shall be so
set aside in manner required by law, and it is expe-
dient that the terms on which the same should be
so set aside should be sanctioned by the Governor
in Council, as required by the said "Hawke's Bay
Special Settlements Act, 1872:"

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of
the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exer-
cise of the power and authority vested in him by
the said in part recited Acts, and by and with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of the
said colony, doth hereby sanction the terms set forth
in the Second Schedule hereto, as the terms under
which the said block of land described in the First
Schedule hereto shall be set aside for special settle-
ment under the said last-mentioned Act.
