Auckland, 5th May, 1868.

in respect of lands, the titles to which have passed
through the Native Land Court, are hereby warned
that all transfers of estates and interests so derived
are invalid until the duty payable under the fifty-
fifth section of "The Native Lands Act, 1865," has
been paid, and the Colonial Treasurer's receipt
endorsed upon the deed.

With as little delay as possible after execution of
the deed of assurance, it should be presented for
assessment at the Registry of Deeds for the Province
in which the lands are situate accompanied by an
affidavit of the transferee, his solicitor, or some other
person competent to speak to the facts, stating that
the full consideration money directly or indirectly
paid on the transaction is expressed in the deed.
Any deception or concealment in this respect will
subject the parties to severe penalties.

On being satisfied that the true consideration is
expressed, the Registrar will certify the amount of
duty payable on the transaction. The deed together
with the Registrar's certificate should then be pre-
sented at the Treasury, and the amount of the
assessment paid. The Treasurer will endorse his
receipt upon the deed after which it may be registered
upon payment of the usual fees.

It should be particularly borne in mind that if the
duty is not paid within six months from the date of
the execution of the deed, the party liable to pay the
same will be subject to a penalty of three times the
amount of duty payable. And that the Treasury will
not accept payment of duty, except on production of
the Registrar's certificate.

It should also be particularly observed that under
the provisions of "The Native Lands Act, 1867," in
any case where a notification has been made by the
Chief Judge of the Native Lands Court, to the
Secretary of Crown Lands, that any fees are due and
unpaid for the survey of the land comprised in a
certificate issued by that Court, the Crown Grant of
the same land cannot be registered until the said
Judge shall have notified that payment of such fees
has been made.
