Order in Council bringing two acres of Native Reserve at White's Bay under the provisions of
"The Native Reserves Act, 1856."
G. Grey, Governor.
Order in Council.
At the Government House at Wellington, the twenty-sixth day of November, 1867.
Present: His Excellency the Governor in Council.

Whereas by an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled "The Native Reserves Amendment Act, 1862," it is amongst other things provided that where under the provisions of "The Native Reserves Act, 1856," the assent of the aboriginal inhabitants is required to bringing land under the operation of the said "Native Reserves Act, 1856," the Governor may by Order in Council declare such assent to have been ascertained, and thereupon the title of the aboriginal inhabitants in the land to which the same shall relate shall be deemed to be extinguished, and the land shall from the date of such Order in Council vest in Her Majesty for the purposes and subject to the provisions of the said "Native Reserves Act, 1856," as altered by the said Act of 1862, and that as effectually as if the same had been ceded and conveyed by such aboriginal inhabitants to Her Majesty:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, doth hereby declare that the assent of the aboriginal inhabitants to the bringing the piece of land described in the Schedule hereunder written under the operation of "The New Zealand Native Reserves Act, 1856," has been ascertained.

Forster Goring,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
