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 Land Board of Otago did, on
the twenty-eighth day of August, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-eight, pass a resolution recom-

of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
power and authority vested in me by the above-
named Act, do hereby proclaim and declare that the
land described in the Schedule hereto is set apart
for sale on deferred payments; and that Monday,
the seventeenth day of March, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-nine, shall be the day on which
the said land shall be open for application.

ORDER IN COUNCIL,

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
fourth day of February, 1879.

Present :

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section twenty of "The Land-Tax
Act, 1878," it is, among other things, enacted
that, on or before the first day of February, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine, the Valuer
or Valuers appointed for or acting in each district
shall prepare, sign, and transmit to the Deputy Com-
missioner of such district a valuation list in the pre-
scribed form, setting forth to the best of his skill
and judgment the value of all lands in such district
liable to the duty by the Act now in recital imposed,
with the improvements thereon, and the value of
such lands without such improvements; together
with the names of the owners and occupiers thereof,
and the nature, situation, and extent of the property:

And whereas by section sixty-three of the said in
part recited Act it is also provided that, if any act or
thing by the said Act required to be done within a
fixed time is not done within the time appointed or
required, the Governor in Council may appoint a
further or other time for doing the same, although
the time within which the same ought to have been
done has elapsed or expired, and any act or thing
done within the time prescribed by such Order in
Council shall be as valid as if it had been done within
the time fixed by or under the said Act:

And whereas the valuation lists required by the
said in part recited Act to be transmitted on or
before the first day of February, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-nine, have not been prepared,
signed, and transmitted, and it is expedient to ap-
point a further time for doing the same:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of New Zea-
land, by and with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of the colony, and in pursuance
of the power and authority in me vested by "The
Land-Tax Act, 1878," do hereby order and appoint
that, on or before the twenty-eighth day of February,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine, the
Valuer or Valuers appointed for or acting in each
district shall prepare, sign, and transmit to the
Deputy Commissioner of such district a valuation
list, in the prescribed form, setting forth, to the best
of his skill and judgment, the value of all lands in
such district liable to the duty by "The Land-Tax
Act, 1878," imposed with the improvements thereon,
and the value of such lands without such improve-
ments; together with the names of the owners and
occupiers thereof, and the nature, situation, and
extent of the property. Separate lists shall be made
for each county and borough within the limits of a
district.

And with the like advice and consent, and in fur-
ther pursuance and exercise of the powers aforesaid,
I do hereby order that this Order in Council shall
be deemed to have come into operation from and
after the first day of February, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-nine.

FORSTER GORING,

Clerk of the Executive Council.
