Chief or other person on Our behalf and on Our authority be alienated, either in perpetuity or for any definite time, either by way of Grant, Lease, License of Occupation, or otherwise, gratuitously, nor except the same should have been first put up to sale at a Public Auction at a minimum price of not less than Twenty shillings an acre:

And Whereas it is desirable so far to modify the said Instructions as to allow of a remission to a specified extent of the purchase money of Land acquired by officers of Our Army and Navy intending to settle in New Zealand with Our permission, and under Regulations issued or to be issued by Us, or on Our behalf by one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, and of the gratuitous alienation of Land for the settlement of Military Pensioners sent out under directions issued on Our behalf by one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, or for the settlement of the aboriginal inhabitants of the Colony:

Now, therefore, We do hereby revoke that part of Our said Instructions which prohibits the alienation of Land gratuitously, so far as regards such Naval and Military Officers, Military Pensioners, or aboriginal inhabitants as aforesaid.

And We do hereby authorize and direct you to allow to such Officers all such remission of purchase money or other privileges in the acquisition of Land as they may from time to time be respectively entitled to, under any Regulations issued, or to be issued by Us, or on Our behalf by one of Our Principal Secretaries of State.

And We do hereby further authorize and direct you from time to time to make such arrangements, varying as directed, to make Us, or on Our behalf by one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, for the settlement on Crown Lands within the Colony, of Military Pensioners sent out as aforesaid, and of any of the aboriginal inhabitants of the colony: Provided that nothing herein contained shall be taken to apply to the Province of New Munster within the said colony, so long as certain provisions relating to the settlement of the Waste Lands of the Crown contained in the thirteenth chapter of Our Instructions heretofore recited shall remain suspended by the operation of the Act passed in the Tenth and Eleventh Year of Our Reign, intituled “An Act to promote colonization in New Zealand and to authorize a loan to the New Zealand Company.”
