NOTICE.
Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, 6th June, 1843.

In order to enable Land Claimants to avail
themselves more easily of the existing ar-
rangements for exchanging land—I am desired
by the Governor to give notice that payment of
any fee on the final report of a Commissioner of
Land Claims may be deferred until the issue of
a Crown Grant for any land obtained in ex-
change for that in respect of which the said fee
may be payable.

No Grants consequent on Exchange of land
will be issued after six months subsequent to the
day of sale or exchange—therefore in order to
obtain any such grant—the fee must be paid
within six months from the day of exchange.

By Command,
ANDREW SINCLAIR,
Colonial Secretary.
