NOTICE. WHEREAS information has been received by me that aeyeral persons hare illegally " JUMPED," or taken possession of, certain GOLD MINING CLAIMS within the proclaimed Goldfield in the Hauraki or Thames District, and for which proceedings the following reasons are assigned, viz. : — That in consequence of the decision of the Supreme Court, that " I am not a Judge of the Warden's Court, and that there has been no Warden's Court constituted for the said District, " there is no law -in force within the said Goldfield, and that none can be enforced ; " That certain Miners' Rights signed by me are invalid :" I hereby give NOTICE to those persons whom it may concern that, by section 106 of "The Goldfields Act, 1866," it is enacted as fdllows :— " 106. All proceedings for any infringements in any Goldfield of the provisions of this Aot, or of any rules or regulations made in pursuance hereof, shall, if there be any Court constituted under this Act for such Goldfields, be had and taken in such Court ; and, if there be no such Court, then before a Resident Magistrate or Justice of the Peace, according to the law for the time being in force for regulating summary proceedings before Justices of the Peace." With respect to the signature of Miners' Rights, the Goldfields Regulations set forth that those documents shall be issued by the Warden; but by section 4 of the Goldfields Act any person authorised by the Governor can issue the same. Pending the result of an appeal which will be made against the decision of the Supreme Court in the case Rowe v. Mackay, the Resident Magistrate's Court for the Hauraki or Thames district sitting at Shortland will be able to adjudicate in all matters of dispute relating to gold mining, except partnership ques. tions.
