intituled "The Native Lands Act, 1873," it is
enacted that, from and out of any land which may
have heretofore been or may be granted under the
provisions of any of the Acts thereby repealed, or of
that Act, it shall be lawful for the Governor, at any
time thereafter, to take and lay off for public pur-
poses one or more line or lines of road or railway
through the said lands: Provided that the total
quantity of land which may be taken for such line or
lines of road shall not be more than after the rate of
five acres in every one hundred acres: Provided
always that this power shall cease and determine at
the expiration of ten years from the date of the

And whereas it is expedient that a fit and proper
person should be authorized to take and lay down
roads over the land specified in the Schedule hereto:

Now, therefore, I, Hercules George Robert Robin-
son, Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in
exercise and pursuance of all powers and authorities
enabling me in this behalf, do hereby authorize

HORACE BAKER,
Chief Surveyor of Napier, to take and lay down roads
over the land specified in the Schedule hereto, and
for that purpose to exercise all such powers as by the
said Act may be exercised by a person legally
authorized in that behalf under the said Act.
