4 Confiscated land.

Out of such portion of the Special Fund as may have arisen or may hereafter arise from the proceeds of the sale or other disposal of lands taken under “The New Zealand Settlements Act 1863” or any Acts amending the same there shall and may be issued and applied any sum or sums not exceeding in the whole four thousand pounds (£4,000) for and towards the services and purposes specified in the Fourth Schedule hereto.

5 Salaries of Commissioners of Crown Lands.

6 Indemnity for unauthorized expenditure set forth in Third Schedule.

And whereas the actual expenditure of the General Government for the year ending on the thirtieth day of June one thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine exceeded the sum authorized by law by the sum of seventy-four thousand six hundred and thirty-four pounds thirteen shillings and three pence (£74,634 13s. 3d.) and whereas the actual expenditure for the year ending the thirtieth day of June one thousand eight hundred and seventy exceeded the sum authorized by law by the sum of seventy-nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-one pounds and ten shillings (£79,871 10s.) in respect of the services specified in the Third Schedule hereto And whereas the said expenditure in excess was reasonable and necessary Be it therefore enacted the several Colonial Treasurers and all persons whatsoever are hereby indemnified for the expenditure of the said sums of seventy-four thousand six hundred and thirty-four pounds thirteen shillings and three pence (£74,634 13s. 3d.) and seventy- nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-one pounds ten shillings (£79,871 10s.) and the Colonial Treasurer shall receive credit in his account for the said sums accordingly.
