NEW ZEALAND.

CONDITIONS upon which land situate
between Omata and Tataraimaka, in the
Province of Taranaki, will be granted to set-
tlers:-

1. Settlements will be surveyed and marked
   out at the expense of the Government.

2. Each settlement will comprise not less
   than 100 town allotments and 100 farm sec-
   tions.

3. A stockade on the most eligible site in
   each settlement will be erected at the expense
   of the Government.

4. A town will be laid out around or as
   near as conveniently may be to the stockade
   in one acre allotments.

5. Farms will be laid out around, or as near
   as conveniently may be to the town, in sections
   of 50 acres each.

6. Every settler under these conditions will
   be entitled to one town allotment and one farm
   section.

7. Priority of choice will be determined by
   lot.

8. No man above the age of 45 years will
   be accepted, and every applicant will be sub-
   ject to an examination by an officer appointed
   by the Governor, and must produce such cer-
   tificates of good health, character, and general
   fitness for the service, as such officer shall re-
   quire.

9. Each accepted applicant will be provided,
   at the expense of the Government, with a
   steerage passage to New Plymouth. Before
   embarkation, he will be required to sign a
   declaration and agreement to the effect that he
   understands and will be bound by and fulfil
   these conditions.

10. On arrival at New Plymouth, he will
    be enrolled and required to serve in the Tara-
    naki Militia. He will be entitled to pay and
    rations accordingly until he is authorised by
    the Government to take possession of his land,
    when he will be relieved of "actual service."

11. After taking possession he will be en-
    titled to receive rations, free of cost for twelve
    months, upon the same scale as supplied to
    Her Majesty's troops; he will be allowed to
    retain possession, as a militiaman, of his arms
    and accoutrements, and he will be supplied
    with ammunition for use according to militia
    regulations.

12. No settler after taking possession will
    be permitted during the first three years after
    his arrival at New Plymouth to absent himself
    from his settlement for more than one calendar
    month in any one year without the leave of
    the Governor first obtained.

13. During such three years he will be liable
    to be trained and exercised as other Militia
    men; and whenever a portion only of the Tara-
    naki Militia shall be called out for actual ser-
    vice, each settler will be deemed to be a Volun-
    teer Militiaman, and will be required to serve
    as such. During such service he will be be en-
    titled to the same pay, rations and allowance as
    other Militiamen.

14. On the expiration of three years from
    the day of his arrival at New Plymouth each
    settler, having fulfilled the conditions, but not
    otherwise, will be entitled to a Crown Grant
    of the Town allotment and farm section allotted
    to him; and will thenceforth be subject only
    to the same Militia services as other colonists.

15. Any settler desiring to leave his settle-
    ment will be permitted to do so on providing a
    substitute approved of by the Government.
    Such substitute will be subject to the same
    liabilities and entitled to the same privileges as
    the settler whose place he takes.

16. In case of the death of any settler be-
    fore he shall become entitled to his Crown
    Grant, the land allotted to him will be at the
    disposal of the Government for the location of
    another settler under these conditions or for
    any other purpose, but the value of any im-
    provements made thereon by the deceased set-
    tler will be determined by valuation, and the
    amount paid by the Government to such person
    (if any) as the deceased settler shall have ap-
    pointed by writing to receive the same.

FORM OF DECLARATION AND AGREEMENT.
I do hereby declare that I fully understand
the "conditions" hereunto annexed, and I do
engage and agree to be bound thereby, and
punctually on my part to fulfil all the terms
thereof.
