Notice to the Purchasers of Lands at any time found to be auriferous, &c.

Crown Lands Office,

Wellington, 5th November, 1869.

THE attention of the Government having been called to the law affecting the sale of land containing the precious metals, the Attorney General has advised that the precious metals do not pass by a sale of the Waste Lands of the Crown containing them, and that an injunction would be granted by the Supreme Court to prevent the Gold being taken therefrom. In order, therefore, to protect the interests of the public and prevent auriferous lands being bought up by individual purchasers, IT IS HEREBY NOTIFIED that it is the intention of the Government to cause the law in this particular to be enforced.

Joseph G. Holdsworth,
Deputy Commissioner of Crown Lands.

Printed under the authority of the Government of the Province of Wellington, by Thomas M’Knytt, Printer for the time being to such Government.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"
