Department of Lands and Survey,
Wellington, 14th March, 1912.

NOTICE is hereby given that, with the approval of His Excellency the Governor, in terms of subsection (3) of section 179 of the Land Transfer Act, 1908, I have suspended the license of

HENRY IEVERS BIGGS

to act as a surveyor under the said Land Transfer Act until such time as he complies with the request of the Chief Surveyor, Auckland, to return a certain plan and documents, the property of the Government, and of which he has retained possession for some considerable time in contravention of Survey Regulation No. 70, which requires that plans sent by a Chief Surveyor to a surveyor must be returned with reasonable despatch; and also until the said Henry Ivers Biggs explains to my satisfaction the reason for ignoring the requests of the Chief Surveyor, Auckland, to him in regard to Land Transfer Plan No. 6441A.

JOHN STRAUCHON,
Surveyor-General.

Notice by the Public Trustee under the Public Trust Office Act, 1908 (Part II).

To the owner of the following land, that is to say: All that parcel of land, containing by acremeasurement 50 acres, more or less, being Allotment 120, Parish of Te Puna, Cook County, in the Provincial District of Auckland. The land was Crown-granted to Charles Johnston, formerly a private in the 1st Regiment of Waikato Militia, who cannot now be traced.

WHEREAS the Public Trustee has instituted inquiries, and has not thereby ascertained who the owner of the above-described land is, and believes that such owner is not in the Dominion:

Now, the Public Trustee hereby calls upon such owner, within six months of the date of the publication of this notice in this Gazette, to establish to the satisfaction of the Public Trustee his title to the said land; and, if he fails or neglects so to do, the Public Trustee will exercise the powers and authorities granted to him in and by the Public Trust Office Act, 1908 (Part II).

Dated this 19th day of March, 1912.

FRED. FITCHETT,

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"

Third-Party Content

Where third-party content (e.g., notices submitted by external organisations) is identified within the Gazette, users should satisfy themselves regarding the copyright status of that specific content, as it may be subject to different ownership terms than the Gazette itself.
