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 heretofore 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 inserted in
the Gazette for four consecutive weeks:

And whereas the pieces of land described in the
first column of the Schedule hereto were heretofore
set apart as reserves for the specific purposes speci-
fied in the said column: And whereas it being con-
sidered expedient that, as regards the lands reserved
as aforesaid 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 Gover-
nor 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 Gazette of
the 25th April and 2nd, 9th, and 16th May, 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 the
reserves described in the second column of the said
Schedule to the specific purposes set opposite such
description in the third column of the said Schedule,
and such lands shall henceforth be deemed to be
reserved and set apart for such last-mentioned specific
purposes, and no others.
