GLASGOW, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this eighth day
of August, 1893.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS by the one hundred and sixty-ninth section
of "The Land Act, 1892," it is enacted that the
Governor in Council may fix the terms and conditions upon
which the lands in any village settlement shall be disposed
of, subject as in the said section is provided : And whereas
by a Proclamation made under the said Act on the eighth
day of August, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three,
and published in the New Zealand Gazette on the tenth day
of August, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three,
the lands described in the First Schedule hereto have been
set apart under the said Act and declared open for lease as a
village settlement, and it is expedient to fix the terms and
conditions upon which the said lands shall be disposed of :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers
and authorities conferred by the said Act, and by and with
the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said
colony, doth hereby fix the terms and conditions on which
the lands mentioned in the First Schedule hereto shall be
disposed of by way of lease in perpetuity, and which said
terms and conditions are set forth in the Second Schedule
hereto, and also doth direct that the lands in the said
village settlement shall be divided into village-homestead
allotments only.

of considerable value as time goes on.
