ORDER IN COUNCIL,

Establishing Regulations for the granting of Gold Mining Leases in the Province of Otago.

G. GREY, Governor.

At the Government House, at Auckland, the 29th day of December, 1864.

Present—

His EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS it is provided by the “Gold Fields Act, 1862,” that it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council from time to time to make such Regulations, not being contrary to the provisions of the said Act, as he shall think fit, for regulating the granting of Leases for mining purposes, and the terms and conditions on which such Leases shall be granted, and such Regulations from time to time to alter and abolish:

And whereas by an Order in Council made on the Fifteenth day of September, 1863, certain Regulations were made for Gold Mining within the Otago Gold Fields, and it was thereby provided that applications might be made for Gold Mining Leases on the payment of a deposit of Twenty pounds (£20), and on the performance of certain things in the said Order set forth, such Leases might be granted as therein mentioned:

And whereas much inconvenience has arisen in consequence of persons making applications for leases and subsequently abandoning the same:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in persuance and exercise of the said recited power and authority, doth hereby, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the Colony of New Zealand, make the following additional Rule for the granting of Leases for Gold Mining within the District of the Otago Gold Fields:

“Out of the sum of twenty pounds (£20) deposited by any person making application for a Gold Mining Lease, shall be deducted the sum of five pounds (£5) in addition to the previously authorised costs and expenses, in case such person shall withdraw his application, or forfeit or abandon his claim, or within one month after notice by the Warden that the Lease is prepared, shall not accept the same.”

And doth further declare that this Order shall take effect from the day of date hereof.

FORSTER GORING,

Clerk of the Executive Council.
