A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the seventeenth section of "The
Waste Lands Administration Act, 1876," it
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 pro-
claimed shall become subject to such provisions:

And whereas the lands described in the Schedule
hereto have been purchased out of the sums autho-
rized under "The Immigration and Public Works
Act, 1870," and Acts amending the same, and it is
expedient that the said lands should be declared to
be waste lands of the Crown:

Now, therefore, I, Sir Hercules George Robert
Robinson, the Governor of the Colony of New
Zealand, being satisfied that the lands described
in the Schedule hereto are free from Native
claims and all difficulties in connection there-
with, in pursuance and exercise of the power and
authority vested in me by "The Waste Lands Ad-
ministration Act, 1876," do hereby proclaim and
declare the said lands to be waste lands of the Crown,
subject to be sold and 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.
