Superintendent’s Office,
New Plymouth, 6th Nov., 1861.
WHEREAS, by an Ordinance of the Superintendent and Provincial Council of the Province of Taranaki entitled the “Town of New Plymouth Consolidation Ordinance, 1859,” the boundaries of the Town site of New Plymouth were altered and contracted, and certain allotments situated outside the new boundaries, belonging to residents and absentees, were resected from the Public Reserves within the present site: And whereas the reselections were conducted according to the original order of choice attached to such allotments, and reselections of land were made provisionally on behalf of absentees, who were either without agents to represent them, or whose agents were not specially authorised to act in their behalf. This is therefore to give Notice that all provisional exchanges of land will be confirmed by legal enactment (subject to any special claim for loss or damage accruing from such reselection), and the lands surrendered will form part of the Public Reserves, in lieu of those chosen in the new Town, unless the proprietors thereof shall on or before the 31st of December, 1862, notify their disallowance of the reselections made.
