An Ordinance to authorize the Governor to apply a portion of the Land Fund arising within a Municipal District at the instance of the Corporation thereof.
Preamble reciting Royal Instructions of 12th August, 1850.
WHEREAS by certain “Additional Instructions”
under the Royal Signet and Sign Manual, bearing date the twelfth day of August, one thousand eight hundred and fifty, after reciting amongst other things that certain parts of the Islands of New Zealand had been or might thereafter be divided into hundreds, and that it might be expedient that part of the proceeds arising from the sale of Crown lands within the said hundreds should be applied in such manner as might be specified by the Wardens or other proper authorities thereof, Her Majesty did declare that it should be competent for the Governor or Officer Administering the Government of the said Islands to authorize the application of any proportion not exceeding one-third of the gross proceeds of the sales of Crown lands effected within the limits of any such hundreds towards such purposes as should be signified to him by the Wardens of such hundred, or by such other authorities thereof as should be designated for that purpose by any Ordinance to be passed by the Legislature of the said Islands, subject nevertheless to such restrictions and regulations as should be imposed by such Ordinance: And whereas it may be expedient that, when any such hundred or a part thereof shall fall within the limits of a municipal district, the whole or a part of such one-third of the gross proceeds of the sales of Crown lands to be effected within the limits of any such last-mentioned hundred should be applied towards such purposes as may be signified to such Governor by the Corporation of such municipal district: Now therefore, in pursuance of such authority as aforesaid, be it enacted by the Governor-in-Chief of New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:—
1 Power of Governor to authorize application of a portion of land fund at the instance of Corporation.
In case any such hundred or any part of such hundred shall fall within the limits of any such municipal district as aforesaid, it shall be lawful for His Excellency the Governor at his discretion to authorize the application of the whole or a part of such one-third as aforesaid of the gross proceeds of the sale of Crown lands which may be effected during the then current year within the limits of such hundred or part of such hundred, as the case may be, towards such purposes as shall be signified to him by or on behalf of the Corporation of such municipal district: Provided always that not less than one-half of the sum so authorized to be applied as aforesaid be expended by such Corporation within the limits of the hundred within which such sum shall have arisen.
2 Interpretation.
For the purposes of this Ordinance the word “Governor”
shall be taken to include the “Lieutenant-Governor”
or the Officer Administering the Government of the Province for the time being.
