A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS by the fourth section of "The Crown
Lands Sales Act, 1877," it is enacted that,
from and after the coming into operation of that Act,
and until further provision is made for the classifica-
tion of Crown lands by the General Assembly, all
Crown lands shall be sold in accordance with the
law in force in the land district where such lands are
situated, but not in any case at a less price than two
pounds per acre, if by free selection; and in the event
of any land having to be sold at auction after appli-
cation to purchase, then the upset price at which such
land shall be put up to auction shall be at such price
per acre as the Waste Land Board may determine,
not being less than the price at which the land was
open for appliction: Provided that, after lands have
been put up to auction at a price of not less than
one pound per acre, the said land may, by Proclama-
tion by the Governor, be opened to free selection at
a price of not less than one pound per acre:
And whereas the lands specified in the Schedule
hereto have been put up to auction at a price of not
less than one pound per acre, and were not sold, and
it is expedient that the same lands should be opened
to free selection:
Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
power and authority vested in me by the hereinbefore
recited Act, do hereby proclaim and declare that the
lands in the Provincial District of Taranaki specified
in the Schedule hereto are opened to free selection
at a price of not less than one pound per acre.
