Altering Times of Meeting of the Land Board of the
Land District of Wellington.

ARTHUR GORDON, Governor.

WHEREAS by the first subsection of section
twenty-five of "The Land Act, 1877," it is
provided that the Land Boards of the respective land
districts shall sit at the Land Office in the principal
town of the land district, at certain times to be
determined by the Board and approved of by the
Governor, and published in the New Zealand Gazette:

And whereas by a warrant under the hand of His
Excellency the Governor, dated the twenty-eighth
day of January, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of
the twenty-ninth day of January, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty, it was appointed that the Land
Board of Wellington should sit on the fifteenth day
of January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty,
and on every alternate Thursday thereafter, at eleven
o'clock a.m.:

And whereas the Land Board of Wellington did, on
the thirtieth day of December, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty, pass a resolution recommending
that the time of sitting should be altered, and it is
expedient to give effect to the said recommendation:

Now, therefore, I, Arthur Hamilton Gordon, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise
of the power and authority vested in me in that
behalf, do hereby fix and determine that the ordinary
meetings of the Land Board of the Land District of
Wellington shall be held every alternate Thursday,
at half-past ten o'clock a.m., commencing on Thurs-
day, the tenth day of February, one thousand
eight hundred and eighty-one, instead of at eleven
o'clock a.m., as heretofore appointed.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the
Governor, this twentieth day of Janu-
ary, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-one.

same has been surveyed or not, reserve from sale
temporarily, notwithstanding that the same may be
then held under pastoral license, any Crown lands
which, in his opinion, are required for any of the

and pursuance of the powers and authorities vested
in me by the said Act, do hereby temporarily reserve
from sale the land in the Land Districts of Auckland
