Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the thirty-ninth section of "The
Land Act, 1877," it is enacted that it shall be
lawful for the Land Board, subject to the approval of
the Governor, at any time and from time to time, to
declare, by notice in the Gazette, that any land not
already classified shall belong to either of the classes
referred to in the thirty-eighth section of the said
Act; and also that any land shall cease to belong to
either of the said classes, provided that no land
which has been declared to be town or suburban land
shall cease to belong to such classes respectively,
without the consent previously obtained of the Go-
vernor in Council:

And whereas the Land Board of Otago is desi-
rous of declaring that the lands specified in the
Schedule hereto, which have been heretofore classed
as town lands, shall cease to belong to such class, and
shall be classed as suburban lands:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the colony, and in exercise and pursuance
of the powers and authorities vested in him by the said
Act, doth hereby consent to the Land Board afore-
said declaring that the lands specified in the Schedule
hereto shall cease to be classed as town lands, and
doth hereby approve and consent to the said Board
declaring that such lands shall be classed as sub-
urban lands.
