NOTICE TO LAND CLAIMANTS.
Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, Sept. 27th, 1842.
S UPJOINED 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 particu-
lars 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
confined solely to the Government Survey De-
partment. 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.
The Claimants to whom these "Land Orders"
shall be issued, will be entitled for the period not
exceeding two years, from the date thereof, to
tender the same, as equal to a payment of the
sum in respect of which a Grant of Land would
otherwise have been made to him, in any pur-
chase which he may effect of Crown Lands, at
any Government Sale within the Colony.
These Land Orders will be transferable by
Indorsement duly recorded at the Office of the
Colonial Secretary, and must be taken in lieu of
any Claims to Land, in respect of which they
may be issued.
