WHEREAS by the 16th section of “The Gold Fields Act 1866,” it is enacted that when any Gold Mine or Gold Field shall be discovered and proclaimed upon any Crown Lands, which at the date of the passing of the said Act shall have been held under licence or lease for depasturing purposes, it should be lawful for the Governor, at his discretion, to cancel the licence or lease under which such land shall have been held in occupation, as regards the whole or any part of the lands so held under such licence or lease, or with the concurrence of the licensee or lessee, to suspend such lease or licence, as regards the whole or any part of such lands: And whereas the said lands hereinafter described are Crown lands, subject to be dealt with under the provisions of the said sixteenth section of the “Gold Fields Act 1866;” and the said lands are now, or lately were, held in occupation by Messrs. James Glassford, Gordon Glassford, and Henry John Glasford, under a lease for Depasturing purposes, issued under the “Otago Waste Lands Act 1866”: And whereas the Executive Government of the Province of Otago have determined to cancel the said lease as to so much and such part of the lands held under the same as are comprised within the area hereinafter described:

Now therefore I, James Macandrew, Superintendent of the Province of Otago, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Province, and by virtue and in exercise of the powers delegated to the Executive Government of the said Province in this behalf by His Excellency the Governor of New Zealand in Council, under the authority of the “Gold Fields Act Amendment Act 1867,” and of any and every other power in anywise enabling me in this behalf, do hereby cancel the said lease, in so far as the lands comprised within the area hereinafter described are affected by the said lease, but no further or otherwise (that is to say)—

All that area in the Province of Otago, containing by estimation eight hundred and fifty (850) acres, more or less, situate in Tiger Hill Survey District, bounded towards the north-west by block I, Tiger Hill Survey District, eleven thousand one hundred and one (11101) links; towards the north-east by block I, Tiger Hill Survey District, twelve thousand six hundred (12600) links; towards the south-east by the Manuherikia river, five thousand eight hundred (5800) links; and towards the south-south-west by Crown Lands, eleven thousand two hundred (11200) links.
