WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled "The Waste Lands Act, 1858," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, at any time, and from time to time, to except from sale, and either reserve to Her Majesty, or dispose of in such other manner as for the public interest may seem best, such of the Waste Lands of the Crown in any of the Provinces of New Zealand as may be required for the purposes of military defence, or for the construction of trunk lines of road, or as sites for public buildings for the use of the General Government, or for other purposes of public utility and convenience, and that all such exceptions shall be deemed to have been made whenever the Governor, by writing under his hand, shall have notified to the Superintendent of the Province in which any land so excepted is situate, that the same is required for any of the purposes aforesaid, and such notification shall have been published in the New Zealand Gazette.

And whereas by "The Electric Telegraph Act, 1865," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor to establish lines of communication by electric telegraph throughout the Colony, and for this purpose it is expedient to except from sale the land hereinafter described:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, K.C.B., the Governor of New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the Colony, and in exercise of the above powers, do by this writing under my hand, notify to the Superintendent of the Province of Otago, that the land hereinafter described, that is to say—so much and such part of the Waste Lands of the Crown in the said Province of Otago, as is included between two lines drawn on each side of, parallel to, and at a distance of a chain from the line of electric telegraph established in the said Province, from the Mataura river to Popotuna, from Popotuna to the Molyneux river, from the Molyneux river to Dunedin, and from Dunedin to the Waitaki river, is required for the purpose of the said electric telegraph.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir George Grey, Knight Commander of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty’s Colony of New Zealand and its dependencies, at the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-ninth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven.
