(From the New Zealand Gazette, June 27, No. 36.)

WHEREAS by the thirty-ninth section of “The Gold Fields Act, 1866,” it is provided that it shall be lawful for the Governor, from time to time, to make regulations prescribing the mode in which applications may be made for leases of land for agricultural purposes, the quantity of land not exceeding fifty acres which shall and may be granted in a lease in any particular block, the amount of deposit to be paid by any applicant therefor, and by any objector thereto, the terms and conditions upon which such leases may be held, occupied, assigned, transferred, forfeited, and cancelled, the amount of rent payable therefor, and the times and places of payment, the conditions upon and the manner in which entry to search for gold, or for any metal or mineral, upon any land so leased, may be authorised, and the terms and conditions upon which holders of miners’ rights may be permitted to mine upon land the lease for which shall have been determined on account of its auriferous character, and such regulations from time to time to amend after and revoke.

And whereas, His Excellency the Governor, in pursuance of the power vested in him in that behalf, did, by proclamation dated the twenty-sixth day of April last, and published in the New Zealand Gazette on the twenty-seventh day of April last, make the regulations contained in the said proclamation:

And whereas, by an Order in Council made on the twenty-seventh day of April last, His Excellency did delegate to me, Edward William Stafford, President of the Executive Council of New Zealand, all the powers vested in him under or by virtue of the said “Gold Fields Act, 1866,” except the powers conferred by sections twenty-two, forty, forty-eight, sixty, ninety-six, and one hundred and seven, to have, hold, and exercise within the Province of Otago:

And whereas, it is expedient to revoke the said proclamation and regulations:

Now therefore, I, Edward William Stafford, in exercise of the power delegated to and vested in me in this behalf, do hereby revoke the said proclamation and regulations, as far, but so far only, as they affect or relate to the Province of Otago and the proclaimed Gold Fields therein, and the Crown Lands within such Gold Fields; and I do hereby make the following regulations, prescribing the mode in which applications may be made for leases of Crown Lands for agricultural purposes within any proclaimed Gold Field in the said Province of Otago, the quantity of land not exceeding fifty acres which shall and may be granted in any particular block, the amount of deposit to be paid by any applicant therefor, and by any objector thereto, the terms and conditions upon which such leases may be held, occupied, assigned, transferred, forfeited, and cancelled, the amount of rent payable therefor, and the times and place of payment, the conditions upon and the manner in which entry to search for gold, or for any metal or mineral, upon any land so leased may be authorised, and the terms and conditions upon which holders of miners’ rights may be permitted to mine upon land the lease for which shall have been determined on account of its auriferous character.

REGULATIONS.

Mode of Application.

1. Every application for an agricultural lease of Crown Land within the Otago Gold Field must be made in the form of the first Schedule hereto, or to the like effect, to the Warden of the district wherein the land is situate; and copies of such application must be posted and maintained by the applicant for a period of fourteen (14) days, on boards standing not less than three (3) feet above the surface of the ground, and erected one at each corner of the land so applied for.

Deposit to be paid by Applicant.

2. Before any such application shall be received by the Warden, the applicant must pay to a Receiver of Gold Revenue the sum of ten pounds (£10) as a deposit, and every application must be accompanied by a deposit receipt for the sum so paid in the form in the second Schedule hereto.

Charge on Deposit.

3. Each deposit as aforesaid shall be chargeable with the first half-year’s rent, and also with any costs or expenses that may be incurred by any person who shall make a valid objection to the granting of the lease, the amount of which costs and expenses shall be adjudged by the Warden, the balance, if any, of such deposit will be returned after the application has been finally dealt with.

Objectors to make Deposit.

4. Any person objecting to the issue of an agricultural lease shall within fourteen (14) days from the date of the application give notice thereof, setting forth the grounds of his objection in writing to the Warden, and shall therewith deposit the sum of two pounds (£2) with a Receiver of Gold Revenue as security for the prosecution of his objection, or in satisfaction of any costs and expenses to which the applicant may be put to by reason of such objections, if disallowed; and if such objection should not be prosecuted, or should fail, so much of the deposit shall be handed over to the applicant as may be necessary.
