since resided therein for the space of
12 consecutive months, and that during
that time he has not been convicted
before any legal tribunal of any offence
or misdemeanour; he shall be entitled
to claim and shall receive a free
grant of Rural Land; to be selected
by him subject to the same conditions
as to selection, form, and frontage, as if
the same had been sold to an ordinary
purchaser; to the amount of 10 acres
of land for each adult and 5 acres for
each person under age. In the case
of married women and minors or in
the case of the death of any such immigrant
otherwise qualified to receive
such grant, previous to the time when
such claim could have been made,
then the right of claim, selection, and
property in the land so to be granted
shall belong to the husband, parent,
guardian, or heir-at-law of such parties
respectively. Provided always that
where the amount of land so claimed
by one person shall amount in all to
less than 20 acres, the claimant shall
pay for the balance in cash upon the
same terms as other purchasers of rural
land, anything in these Regulations to
the contrary notwithstanding: Provided
also that in case the appli-
cant at the period of his application
shall stand committed for trial for any
offence as aforesaid, such application
shall not be decided upon until the re-
sult of the trial shall be publicly
known, and in case of conviction such
application shall be rejected.
Addition to Clause 68.
After the word “licenses” in the
5th line insert “or Land purchasers.
And the Waste Lands’ Board are
hereby empowered to carry into effect
such contracts.”
