contracts, it shall be lawful for the Governor in
Council to cause Towns to be surveyed and laid out,
and also Suburban and Rural Allotments; and that
all such Town, Suburban, and Rural Land shall be let,
sold, occupied and disposed of for such prices, in such
manner, and for such purposes, upon such terms and
subject to such regulations, as the Governor in
Council shall from time to time prescribe for that
purpose:

And whereas Towns and Farms, and Suburban and
Rural Allotments, have been laid out on parts of the
land taken under the provisions of the said Act, and
other Towns and Farms will be hereafter so laid out,
for the purposes aforesaid:

And whereas certain persons, who are or may be
found to be entitled to compensation under the pro-
visions of the said Act, may prefer that such compen-
sation should be made to them land rather than in
money; and it is expedient to make regulations to
enable the Government to carry into effect arrange-
ments that may be made in their behalf, and also
regulations for the letting, selling, occupying, and
disposing of, such Towns, Farms, Suburban and
Rural Allotments:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, with
the advice and consent of the Executive Council of
the Colony, by virtue and in pursuance of the said
authority, and of all other authorities, doth hereby
Order, that the following shall be the Regulations
for the purposes aforesaid :-

Sufficient Land shall be set apart for-

1. Roads and public purposes.
2. For the location of Military and other Settlers
   introduced by the Government, to be de-
   voted to their use according to the tenure
   of their several contracts.
3. For compensation to persons entitled to, and
   in lieu of, money compensation as hereafter
   mentioned.

The remaining Land shall be divided into lots for
sale, and shall be sold by public auction: Provided
that any Land may be sold to the Superintendent
of the Province in which it is situate by private
contract.

For any of the purposes aforesaid, the Land may
be divided into Town, Suburban, and Rural Lands.

Plans of all such Lands as aforesaid shall be kept
on record, and open to public inspection.

No Land shall be sold by auction until at least one
month's notice shall have been published in the
Gazette of the Province in which the Land is
situate.

The upset price shall not be less than Ten Shillings
per acre, and shall be set by the Chief Surveyor, or
other officer to be duly appointed for that pur-
pose.

The purchase-money for Land shall be paid as
follows: Twenty-five (25) per cent. on the day of
sale, and the remainder within one month. If either
of the payments is not made, the sale will be annulled.
If the former is made and the latter is not duly made,
the amount paid will be forfeited, and the sale an-
nulled. In either case, the Land may be sold
again.

Any Agent of the Government, duly authorised,
may agree with any person who may be entitled to
compensation under the provisions of the "New
Zealand Settlements Act, 1863," that such person
shall receive such portion of the said Suburban and
Rural Land, in lieu of money compensation, as may
be agreed upon between such person and agent.
