PROCLAMATION
Altering the limits of the Dunstan Gold Field, within the Province of Otago.
By his Honor JOHN LARKINS CHEESE RICHARDSON, Esquire, Superintendent of the said Province.
WHEREAS by a Proclamation on the twenty-third day of September last, in pursuance of the powers delegated to me as therein set forth, I constituted and appointed all that territory first therein described to be a Gold Field, under the provisions of the “Gold Fields Act, 1858,” and to be called “Dunstan Gold Field;” And whereas it is expedient to alter the limits of the Dunstan Gold Field aforesaid;
Now therefore, I, John Larkins Cheese Richardson, by virtue of the aforesaid Act and of the powers delegated to me as set forth in the commission mentioned in the Proclamation aforesaid, do hereby revoke the said Proclamation, but in so far only as it defines the limits of the Dunstan Gold Field, and do hereby constitute and appoint all the territory hereinafter described to be a Gold Field under the provisions of the said Act, and to be called
DUNSTAN GOLD FIELD,
(that is to say) All that area bounded on the north by a straight line drawn from the mouth of the Kirtle Burn to the mouth of the Law Burn, thence in a direct line east to one mile from the banks of the Clutha River, thence to Leaning Rock Creek, keeping one mile distant from the Clutha River, thence by Leaning Rock Creek to Leaning Rock; on the east by the Chatto Burn and Manuherikia to within four miles of its mouth, thence to the Manor Burn at one mile from the mouth of the latter, thence, keeping at that distance from the Manuherikia and from the Clutha, to Cairn Hill; on the south by a direct line from Cairn Hill to the Obelisk; and on the west by the Carrick Ranges to the mouth of the Kirtle Burn.
Given under my hand and issued under the Public Seal of the Province of (L.S.) Otago, at Dunedin, this twenty-sixth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three.
