[Extract from New Zealand Gazette.]

Native Title to Lands extinguished.

G. F. Bowen, Governor.

A Proclamation.

Whereas by the tenth section of "The Native Lands Act, 1867," it is enacted that any notification published in the New Zealand Gazette, and purporting to be made by the authority of the Governor, and stating that the Native title over any land therein described had been extinguished previously to a date therein specified, shall be received in the Native Land Court, and by and before every Judge thereof, in all matters which shall at any time be depending in or before such Court, or before any Judge thereof, as conclusive proof that the Native title over the land described in such notice had been extinguished at some time previously to the date therein specified, and that such land on such date had ceased to be Native land within the meaning of the said Act: And whereas it is expedient that the boundaries within which the Native title has been extinguished should be accurately defined between the summit of Pukemoremore and the Puniu River:

Now, therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, do hereby give notice that the Native title over the block of land contained within the boundaries mentioned or described in the schedule hereunto annexed had been extinguished previously to the third day of September, 1865.
