and under the Public Seal of the Colony, from time to

Executive Council of New Zealand, and in pursuance
of the power and authority for that purpose vested in
him by the “Gold Fields Act 1866,” and subject to
its provisions, delegated unto the Executive Government
for the time being of the Province of Otago all
such powers vested in the Governor or the Governor in
Council by the said last-mentioned Act, as under or by
virtue of the one hundred and ninth section of the said

Council from time to time to make, alter, and revoke
regulations for imposing on the holders of licenses
granted under the said Act, or any preceding Act, or
under any rules and regulations that formerly had

empowering such holders to cut, construct, and
use water races, dams, and reservoirs, such periodical
rents, fees, or other payments as he might think fit,
Provided that no less rate than five shillings
nor more than twenty shillings per sluice-head
per annum should be imposed upon or demanded on
account of any water race lawfully held, occupied, and

rate of five shillings per sluice-head per annum upon
the holders of all licenses now in force empowering
such holders to cut, construct, and use any water race
within the limits of the Otago Gold Field:

in respect of each and every sluice-head of water mentioned
