Copy of Order in Council bringing 10 acres and 3 roods of land on the Island of Ruapuke, under the operation of "The Native Reserves Act, 1856," as a site for a school and master's house.

G. Grey, Governor.
Order in Council.
At the Government House, at Wellington, the twelfth 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 lands 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 attested by the recited act, 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 Native Reserves Act, 1856," has been ascertained.

Forster Goring,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
