WHEREAS certain blocks of Native land known as the Kaimarama Block (No. 1966), the Ounuora No. 2 Block (No. 1959), and the Rangihau Block (No. 2286), all in the vicinity of Mercury Bay, have been, the one in part and the others entirely, acquired by Her Majesty from the Native owners thereof respectively, subject, however, to certain leases which had previously to such acquisition been granted by the said Native owners to a certain timber company, known as the Mercury Bay Timber Company:

And whereas it is desirable to obtain for purposes of settlement the Kaimarama Block, the land whereof is in a great part suitable for such purposes, the timber thereon having been mostly removed: And whereas the aforesaid company, holding a lease of the said block for a period of 99 years dating from October 11, 1870, are willing to surrender such lease to Her Majesty in consideration of having their several leases of the Ounuora Block, which is for a term of 21 years dating from May 1, 1872, and of the Rangihau Block, which is for a term of 21 years dating from December 27, 1873, respectively, extended for a further period of ten years from the date of the expiration of the said leases, subject to the same rents and conditions:

And whereas it is expedient to authorise the Governor to effect the proposed arrangement, whereby suitable land for settlement will be available:

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

1 Short Title.

The Short Title of this Act is “The Kaimarama Land Act, 1890.”

2 Governor may negotiate with Mercury Bay Timber Company for surrender of lease of land suitable for settlement.

If at any time before the expiration of twelve months from the date of the passing of this Act the Mercury Bay Timber Company, or their assigns, shall surrender to Her Majesty the lease they hold over the Kaimarama Block of land, as defined in the First Schedule hereto, and all their rights under the said lease, then and in such case the Governor, in the name of Her Majesty, and in consideration of the aforesaid surrender, may grant to the said company, or their assigns, an extension of the leases they hold over the Ounuora No. 2 and Rangihau Blocks of land, as the same are defined in the Second Schedule hereto, for a period not exceeding ten years, to date respectively from the first day of May, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-one, in the case of the Ounuora No. 2 Block, and from the twenty-seventh day of December, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, in the case of the Rangihau Block, subject to the same rent and conditions as contained in their now current leases of such lands respectively.

But no further extension of the aforesaid leases, or either of them, shall be made to the said company.
