of a Letter from Mr. Under Secretary Hope to

"The Company propose :-

1st. "To purchase £50,000 worth of Land
in Auckland, and its vicinity; £10,000 worth,
at least, to be in the Town, and £25,000 worth,
at least, to be in the Country; the Company
taking the remaining £15,000 worth of Land in
Town, Suburban, or Country Lots, provided
they do not take more altogether in Suburban
than Town Lots.

2nd. "That the Town Lots be purchased by
auction, and that they be offered at the upset
price of £100 per acre; as far as practicable,
however, such Lots to be put up together in
parcels of 10 acres each, and the whole Lands
applied for in the Town by the Company at any
one time to be sold on the same day, unless
otherwise settled at the request of their Agent,
and with the assent of the Governor.

3rd. "The Suburban Lots to be sold by
auction. If the Company apply at one and the
same time for one hundred acres or upwards,
the whole to be put together at one general
upset price of £5 per acre.

4th. "That the Country Lots should follow
the Rule established by the Land Sales' Act.

5th. "That credit be given to the Company,
by the Land and Emigration Commissioners,
for the sum of £50,000, in consideration of their
abandoning their claim to £50,000 acres of
Land, out of the whole quantity to which they
are already entitled."
