His EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS by section forty-four of the Valuation of Land Act,
1925, it is provided that if the Valuer-General is of the
opinion that any land (other than a leasehold interest therein) has
been fixed by the Assessment Court at less than its capital value, he
may, within fourteen days after the hearing by the Assessment
Court, give notice to the owner by registered letter that he requires
the owner to consent to the capital value being fixed at the sum
specified in the notice (being the sum which in the opinion of the
Valuer-General is a fair capital value of the land) and that, failing
such consent being given within thirty days after such notice is
received or delivered at its address, the Valuer-General will recommend the Governor-General to acquire the land on behalf of His
Majesty at that sum: And whereas it is further provided that the
owner may, within the said thirty days but not afterwards, consent
to the capital value being fixed at the sum specified in such notice,
or at any other sum agreed to by him and the Valuer-General;
and in such cases the Valuer-General may fix the capital value in
accordance with such notice or agreement, and alter the roll accordingly: And whereas if the owner does not consent or make such
agreement as aforesaid, then the Governor-General may acquire
the land on behalf of His Majesty at the sum specified as aforesaid
in such notice, and for that purpose may, within a reasonable time,
by Order in Council gazetted, declare that the land is vested in His
Majesty: And whereas Arthur Joseph Hutchinson, Companymanager, and James Thomson Fergusson Mitchell, Land-agent,
both of Auckland, as trustees of the Estate of the late Joseph James

and seams of coal and fireclay within and under the land referred to
in Volume 20, folio 199, Volume 20, folio 203, Volume 20, folio 207,
Volume 20, folio 214, Volume 20, folio 215, Volume 20, folio 224,
Volume 129, folio 14, Volume 192, folio 246, and Volume 438,

Registry: And whereas the Valuer-General gave notice to the owner
in terms of, and within the time specified by, section forty-four of
the Valuation of Land Act, 1925, that he required the capital value
to be increased or the land to be acquired on behalf of His Majesty
at such increased sum: And whereas the owner has failed to consent
within the said thirty days to the capital value being fixed at the
sum specified in such notice: And whereas the Valuer-General has
referred the matter to the Governor-General in Council:
Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred on him by section forty-four of the Valuation of Land Act,
1925, and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, His
Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand,
acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council
