PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly, intituled "The County of Westland Act, 1867," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, from time to time, as he may think fit, by Proclamation published in the New Zealand Gazette, to make regulations for the sale, letting, disposal, occupation, and management of any waste lands of the Crown within the County of Westland, and to sell, let, and dispose thereof at such prices, and in such allotments, and generally in such manner as he shall deem expedient, and in like manner to alter, vary, or annul any such regulations, and to make others:
And whereas by a Proclamation issued on the seventeenth day of November last by His Excellency the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of New Zealand, and published in the New Zealand Gazette on the twenty-ninth day of November last, certain regulations were made for the sale, letting, disposal, occupation, and management of the waste lands of the Crown in the County of Westland:
And whereas by a certain other Act of the General Assembly, intituled "The Gold Fields Act, 1866," it is enacted that any district proclaimed or to be proclaimed a gold field, shall not be subject to any provisions of any law for the time being in force regulating the sale, disposal, and occupation of Crown Lands within the Province in which such gold field is situate, except (amongst other exceptions) so far as the provisions of such law may specially authorize the sale or leasing of land within a gold field:
And whereas it is expedient that provision should be made, specially authorizing the sale and lease of the waste lands of the Crown within any gold field proclaimed or to be proclaimed within the County of Westland:
Now therefore I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the Governor of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred on me by the hereinbefore first recited Act, do hereby, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of New Zealand, make and proclaim the regulations contained in the Schedule hereto, to be read with and as forming part of the said regulations made on the seventeenth day of November last, for the sale, letting, disposal, occupation, and management of the waste lands of the Crown in the County of Westland.
