Instrument amending Regulations respecting Agricul-
tural Leases under "The Mines Act, 1877,"
revoked, and Regulations in Appendix B de-
clared to be in force.

HERCULES ROBINSON, Governor.

WHEREAS some doubt exists whether the noti-
fication published in the New Zealand Gazette
No. 81, of the 31st of July last, revoking amended
regulations respecting agricultural leases, published
in the New Zealand Gazette No. 64, of the 12th of
June last, also revoked the instrument referring to
the revocation of former regulations, and the substi-
tution in their place of amended regulations :

Now, therefore, I, Hercules George Robert Robin-
son, Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in
pursuance and exercise of the powers vested in me
by the said Mines Act, 1877, do hereby order that
the said instrument referred to above as published in
the New Zealand Gazette No. 64, of the 12th of June
last, is hereby and shall be taken to have been re-
voked as from the twenty-eighth day of July last, and
that the regulations contained in Appendix B to "The
Mines Act, 1877," shall be deemed to have been and
to be in force as if no instrument purporting to
amend them had been published.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the
Governor, this twenty-second day of
August, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-nine.

enacted that the Governor may declare his intention
to make, change, exchange, or alter the dedication of
any public reserve now or hereafter vested in Her

whether the same be granted or not; and, in the case
of any reserves made under the authority of section

expedient to change the purpose of such reserves or
any part thereof from the purpose or presumed pur-
pose for which it was set apart to any other purpose,
or if it shall, in the opinion of the Governor, be
expedient to exchange any of the land comprised in
such reserve for other land of equal value, to be
dedicated to one or more purposes named in the said

specific purpose set opposite such description in the
third column of the said Schedule, and such land
shall henceforth be deemed to be reserved and set
apart for such last-mentioned specific purpose, and
no other.
