Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of all powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, and by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Colony, doth hereby order and declare that with respect to that portion of the Province of Otago which was comprised within the Province of Southland as existing immediately before the coming into operation of The Otago and Southland Union Act 1870, the price of all lands therein subject to the hereinbefore recited provision of The Southland Waste Lands Act 1865, shall be raised to sixty shillings per acre: And in further pursuance of the said powers and authorities, and with the like advice and consent as aforesaid, it is ordered that this Order shall take effect from the date thereof.
