The applicants should set forth as fully as possible the situation and extent of the Land claimed, and every other particular in their power, relative to the grounds of their claim. And all persons claiming to be entitled to Land at New Zealand, are distinctly warned, that under the conditions of the 4th clause of the Act in question, all Claims, except as therein excepted, which may not be preferred to the Colonial Secretary of New South Wales, as herein directed on or before the fourth day of February next, will be absolutely null and void.
