NOTICE TO LAND CLAIMANTS.
Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, Sept. 27th, 1842,
SUBJOINED is a list of Claims to Land, confirmed on the 24th day of August, 1842,
shewing the consideration in respect of which the Grant is in each case recommended
to be made the extent of the claim, and the number of acres to be granted to such claimant.
(vide annexed list.)
SURVEY OF LAND CLAIMS.
Before a deed of Grant can in any case be issued, an actual survey will be necessary,
in order that an accurate description of the Land claimed may be obtained, shewing its situation,
boundaries, and extent, and such other particulars as may be necessary for identifying the same.
To expedite the final settlement of these Claims, and with a view to put the Claimants into
possession with as little delay as possible, the conduct of the necessary surveys will not be con-
fined solely to the Government Survey Department. Each Claimant who may be desirous
of obtaining an immediate survey of his Claims, will be allowed to employ a private Surveyor,
to be approved by the Surveyor-General on the following terms and conditions, and subject to
such regulations as may from time to time be prescribed.
The sum to be allowed for completing the survey by private contract, will be after the rate
of three pounds for each linear mile.
The Crown Grants will convey the number of acres, to which the Claimant shall have been
found entitled. Should the boundaries marked out by the Contract Surveyor, at any time be
found to contain a greater quantity of land than shall be contained in the Deed of Grant, the
excess will be resumed. The particular portion of the land to be resumed, will be selected at the
discretion of the Surveyor-General.
No Reserves will in any case be required to be made, which shall not be absolutely essential
to the interests of the Public.
Those Claimants who may intend to effect the survey of their Claims by private contract,
must give notice in writing, of such their intentions to the Colonial Secretary's Office, on or
before the 31st day of March, 1843.
LAND ORDERS.
For the convenience of those who may prefer land in the immediate vicinity of the settled
districts to the particular land claimed by them, "Land Orders" will be granted to such of the
Claimants as may apply for the same at the Office of the Colonial Secretary, on or before
the 31st day of March, 1843.
