New Zealand Gazette of the twenty-seventh day
of January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one,
Section 210, Suburbs of Gisborne, containing eight acres
and sixteen perches, was set aside as a reserve for a sheep
and cattle quarantine-ground, being one of the purposes
enumerated in Class II of the Second Schedule to “The
Public Reserves and Domains Act, 1908” (hereinafter re-
ferred to as “the said Act”): And whereas section six of
the said Act authorises the Governor to exchange any of the
land comprised in such reserve for other land of equal value,
