AJHR 1869 C1 Otago Runs p83
Minute of Executive Council, referred to by Mr Dick
Dunedin 22 March 1869; Alex. Willis, Clerk to the Executive Council

Some time ago it came under the consideration of the Executive, that whatever
general principle was laid down, there would still necessarily be some amount
of arrangement with many of the runholders prior to the issue of fresh leases,
and that as the Act summarily limits the action to be taken to six months, it
was necessary to proceed as early as possible with the consideration of all
applications sent in.

Acting on this determination, the Executive, on the 18th January 1867, passed
the following resolution:- "Resolved to recommend the Waste Land Board
to grant leases over all Runs, excluding such land as will be required for
Agricultural Leases within Goldfields, and also blocks which the Government
may require the consent of the licensee to sell without declaring them into
Hundreds".

Subsequently from time to time as applications were sent in from the Waste
Land Board, each case was taken separately into consideration, and decided
under three heads.

The first head comprised the Runs, leases of which it was agreed should be
granted, and that information should be sent to the Waste Land Board to the
effect that the Superintendent had decided not to exercise his power to refuse.

Under the second head came the Runs upon which, after reference to Mr Pyke, it
was considered blocks would be required for Agricultural Lease purposes. In
regard to these, it was determined that either the blocks required should be
reserved from the Renewed Leases, or that the runholders should enter into a
covenant to the effect that whenever such blocks were taken under the powers
conferred by the Goldfields Act, the compensation claimed should be only on
account of the unexpired term of the Agricultural license, and that all claims
to compensation on account of the extra ten years tenure should be relinquished.

The third head comprised the Runs upon which it was thought land would be
required from time to time for sale. It was resolved to grant leases of these
conditionally, on the runholder consenting, under Clause 82 of the Land Act,
to the Superintendent disposing of land without compensation - the area for
which such consent should be given to be in proportion to the extent of the
country for which leases were asked, but in no case should the runholder be
required to give consent to the sale of a larger quantity than 15,000 acres;
such consent on the part of the runholder in no case to be held as an
abridgement of the powers of the Superintendent under the Land Act.

In regard to the Runs coming under heads two and three, the Provincial
Solicitor was instructed to prepare deeds embodying the terms set forth, and
upon the execution of which by the runholder, the Waste Lands Board, would be
at liberty to issue licenses.

The following is the list of runholders referred to in the foregoing Minute
with the decision of the Government in each case:
