WHEREAS by “The Gold Fields Act 1866,” it is provided that it shall be lawful for the Governor, at any time subsequent to the Proclamation of a Gold Field, to withdraw by Proclamation therefrom any Crown Lands which he may deem it necessary to withdraw, and that such lands shall thenceforth be dealt with, sold, occupied, and disposed of under any law or laws for the time being in force regulating the sale, occupation, or disposal, or in any way affecting or relating to the management or dealing with the Crown Lands within the Province in which such Gold Field is situate, in like manner in every respect as though such lands had never been comprised in any proclaimed Gold Field :

Now therefore I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the power and authority for this purpose vested in me, do hereby withdraw from the Otago Gold Field, proclaimed on the twenty-ninth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, so much of the parcel of land described in the Schedule hereto as is included within the said Gold Field.

SCHEDULE.
