is enacted that, whenever the Governor is satisfied
that any lands purchased out of the sums authorized
under "The Immigration and Public Works Act,
1870," and any Act amending the same, to be issued
and expended in the purchase of lands in the North
Island of New Zealand, are free from Native claims
and all difficulties in connection therewith, he shall,
by Proclamation, declare such lands to be waste
lands of the Crown, subject, except as thereafter in
the said Act provided, to be sold and dealt with
according to the provisions of the laws regulating
the sale and disposal of waste lands of the Crown
for the time being in force in the land district in
which such land is situated; and thereupon such
land so proclaimed shall become subject to such
provisions:

And whereas the lands described in the Schedule

by "The Waste Lands Administration Act, 1876,"
do hereby proclaim and declare the said lands to be

dealt with according to the provisions of the laws
regulating the sale and disposal of waste lands of
the Crown in force in the Land District of Auckland.
