A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS by the fourth section of "The Crown
Lands Sale 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
application 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 Lands Board may
determine, not being less than the price at which the
land was open for application: 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
Proclamation 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
for free selection:
Now, therefore, I, Sir Hercules George Robert
Robinson, 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 Hawke's Bay specified
in the Schedule hereto are opened to free selection
at a price of not less than one pound per acre.
