A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by section eight of “The Native and Maori
Land Laws Amendment Act, 1902” (hereinafter
called “the said Act”), it is enacted that the Governor may
from time to time, by Proclamation published in the Gazette
and Kahiti, declare that any parcel or parcels of Maori land,
whether or not such parcels form portions of several blocks,
and whether or not such parcels are held by the owners
under separate titles, shall be vested in the Council as a site
for a Native township, and shall by the same Proclamation
assign a name to such township: And whereas by section
eleven of the said Act it is further enacted that the Governor
may from time to time make, alter, or amend regulations
prescribing in what mode or under what terms or conditions
allotments in such townships may be leased, sold, or ex-
changed, or otherwise dealt with, and prescribing generally
in what manner the said township shall be administered by
the Council, and that all such regulations shall be published
in the Gazette and Kahiti:

And whereas regulations under the provisions of the said
section eleven were by a Proclamation bearing date the
thirteenth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and
three, made and published in the Gazette and Kahiti, each
of the twenty-sixth day of February, one thousand nine
hundred and three:

And whereas it is expedient to amend the said regulations:
Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred upon
me by the said Act, and of all other powers in this behalf
enabling me, I, Uchter John Mark, Earl of Ranfurly, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council, do hereby amend the said
regulations as follows, that is to say,–

As to section ten thereof: By the addition, at the end of
subsection eight, of the words “unless some other arrange-
ment is assented to, in writing, by the outgoing lessee or
person interested”; and also by the addition of the follow-
ing new subsection:–

“(10.) When no valid bid or tender is received for any
allotment heretofore or hereafter advertised for
disposal under the provisions of the said Act, such
allotment may at any time within six months from
the date of the auction, or opening of tenders, be
taken up, subject to all the other provisions of the
said Act and these regulations, at the upset price
or rental.”

As to section eleven thereof: In clause four of the stipu-
lations, conditions, and limitations following the first proviso
in the form of deed of lease, by repealing the words “the
term hereby granted have the right to a renewal of the lease,”
and substituting the words “the original and every renewed
term have a recurrent right of renewal of the lease”; and
in subclause one of the said clause four, by repealing the
words “the said term,” and substituting the words “any
term.”

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Right
Honourable Uchter John Mark, Earl of Ranfurly;
Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished
Order of Saint Michael and Saint George;
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over
His Majesty’s Colony of New Zealand and its
