INFORMATION FOR THE USE OF MILI-

ING TO SETTLE IN CERTAIN OF THE
BRITISH COLONIES.

1. Privileges in the acquisition of Land are at
   present allowed to Military and Naval Officers in the
   Colonies of New South Wales, Victoria, Van Die-
   men's Land, South Australia, Western Australia,
   New Zealand, Ceylon, and the Cape of Good
   Hope. As, however, the control of the waste
   lands of the Crown in New Zealand is vested in
   the Legislature of that Colony, it must be dis-
   tinctly understood that Her Majesty's Govern-
   ment cannot guarantee the continuance of the fol-
   lowing regulations, but that they will be liable to
   be altered or discontinued by the local Legisla-
   ture; and the same caution will be applicable to
   any other of the Colonies named, in which the
   same control may hereafter be transferred to the
   local Legislature.

The same privileges are extended to Officers of
the East India Company's Service in Van Die-
men's Land.
