HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section six of “The Unclaimed Lands
Act, 1894,” it is, among other things, enacted

vested in him pursuant to the said Act under and sub-
ject to the same terms and conditions as reserves under

be leased, and that the provisions relating to such leasing
shall, mutatis mutandis, apply thereto and be deemed to
be incorporated therein; and “The West Coast Settle-
ment Reserves Act, 1892,” so far as is necessary to give
effect to such provisions, should extend and apply and
be deemed to be incorporated therein: Provided that the
Governor in Council may from time to time declare which
of the provisions of that Act should or should not extend
and apply to the powers of leasing thereby given, and may
so modify the same as to enable the Public Trustee to carry
into effect the provisions of subsection five of the said section
six: And whereas by section twenty-four of “The Un-
claimed Lands Act, 1894,” the power to make regulations
conferred by the Public Trust Office Acts is extended and
