7. A certificate signed by the Secretary of the
   Association shall be sufficient evidence that the
   person claiming to select land is a member thereof.
8. Every purchaser shall occupy and clear his selec-
   tion, and "occupation" shall mean the enclosing of at
   least 10 per cent. of the land taken by each pur-
   chaser, and clearing the same, and the erection of a
   house the value of which shall not be less than £10,
   before the end of the second year from the date of
   selection; and, further, that at least 20 per cent. of
   the land taken up by each purchaser shall be enclosed
   with a good and substantial fence, cleared, and put
   into crop or laid down in grass before the end of the
   fourth year. "Clearing" shall mean that all trees
   less than 6 inches in diameter at 3 feet from the
   ground shall be felled; and every purchaser or his
   family shall also actually reside on the land selected
   during the whole of the third, fifth, and seventh years
   of the term, unless previous permission, in writing,
   to be absent for a period to be specified has been
   given by the Board on the recommendation of the
   Chairman or Committee of Management.
9. The settlement shall be divided into allotments
   not exceeding 150 acres each, according to the re-
   quirements of the purchasers; but no purchaser or
   any person on his behalf shall be entitled to select or
   occupy more than 150 acres or less than 30 acres.
10. The lands shall be surveyed by and at the
    expense of the Government of the colony, and road
    lines shall be reserved and laid out in such directions
    as may be suitable.
11. Such portions of the land as may be required
    for the purposes of the Government of the colony,
    or for educational or other public purposes, and as
    shall be approved by the Governor, shall not be open
    for selection under these regulations.
12. Selections shall be made at such time and in
    such manner as the Association may, with the con-
    sent of the Board, require : Provided that neither
    the Government of the colony nor the Waste Lands
    Board shall be responsible for any delay occurring in
    the allotment or selection of any land, nor be bound
    to provide land for members of the Association in
    excess of the area of the land set aside and available
    for selection in accordance with these regulations.
13. In the event of the death of a purchaser
    before having received a grant of his land, his in-
    terest in the allotment will revert to his legal re-
    presentatives, who may dispose of it to a bonâ fide
    settler approved by the Board, and the purchaser
    shall be deemed to stand in the position of the
    original occupant.
14. Should any purchaser be compelled to leave
    the district previous to his being entitled to his
    Crown grant, and before completing the requisite
    term of occupation, it shall be competent for the
    Board to permit such purchaser to transfer his
    rights, title, and interest in the land selected to
    another bonâ fide settler, who shall be deemed to
    occupy the position of original occupant: Provided
    always that no purchaser shall be allowed to hold
    more than 150 acres under special settlement condi-
    tions.
15. Any purchaser who shall fail to comply with
    these regulations, or who may be found to have
    taken shares for another person, or for speculative
    purposes, and not with the view to bonâ fide settle-
    ment, shall, upon sufficient proof thereof to the
    satisfaction of the Board, forfeit his interest in the
    land selected, and the Board shall dispose of his
    interest by public auction to a bonâ fide settler;
    and these conditions shall be sufficient authority for
    such forfeiture and re-allotment. Any settler so
    purchasing shall be deemed to stand in the position
    of the original purchaser.
16. In case any doubt shall arise as to the con-

construction of these terms and conditions, with refer-
ence to the selection and occupation or clearing of
any land or otherwise arising thereunder, the same
shall be settled by the Board.
