A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the fifty-third section of "The
Land Act, 1877," it is enacted that the
Governor, by Proclamation in the Gazette, may from
time to time set apart out of any suburban or rural
lands such blocks or allotments of land as he shall
think fit, and set the same aside for sale on deferred
payments, and in such Proclamation may fix a day
on which the land shall be open for application; and
that he may also in like manner set apart for sale on
deferred payments such blocks or allotments as may
be recommended by any Land Board, and may also
from time to time alter, amend, or revoke any such
Proclamation:

And whereas the lands specified in the Schedule
hereto were, on the dates set opposite the said
parcels of land respectively, under the provisions of
the forty-seventh section of "The Otago Waste
Lands Act, 1872," proclaimed by the Superintendent
of Otago, and also by the Land Board, with the ap-
proval of His Excellency the Governor, under the pro-
visions of "The Otago Waste Lands Act, 1872,"
aforesaid, as amended by "The Waste Lands Amend-
ment Act, 1876," as lands open for occupation on
deferred payments:

And whereas the Land Board of Otago did, on
the twenty-fourth day of July, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-eight, pass a resolution recom-
mending that the land in the Chatton District
described in the Schedule hereto annexed should be
withdrawn from the deferred-payment system, and
should be offered for sale by auction as land of
special value:

And whereas the Land Board aforesaid did, on the
twenty-eighth day of August, pass two resolutions,
recommending that the lands in the Waikaia and
Waipahi Districts, also described in the Schedule
hereto, should be withdrawn from the deferred-
payment system, and should be offered for sale by
auction as ordinary rural land:

Sand whereas by "The Abolition of Provinces Act
1875," such of the powers, duties, and functions as
are vested in the Superintendent by the above
"Otago Waste Lands Act, 1872," are now vested

in and are to be exercised and performed by the
Governor:

And whereas it is expedient to give effect to the
aforesaid recommendation :

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers and authorities vested in me by the above-
named Acts, do hereby revoke the Proclamations
above referred to, so far as they relate to the sec-
tions therein mentioned and included in the Schedule
hereto, and do proclaim and declare that the said
sections are hereby withdrawn from the operation of
the deferred-payment system, and that the same shall
be disposed of as recommended by the Land Board
aforesaid.
