8. Every purchaser shall occupy and clear his
   selection, and " occupation" shall mean the enclosing
   of at least 10 per cent. of the land taken by each
   purchaser, and clearing the same, and the erection of
   a house the value of which shall not be less than

   of the Chairman or Committee of Management.
9. The settlement shall be divided into allotments
   not exceeding 150 acres each, according to the

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 Land 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 ex-
    cess 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 repre-
    sentatives, 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: Pro-
    vided always that no purchaser shall be allowed to
    hold more than 150 acres under special settlement
    conditions.
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 reallotment. Any settler so pur-
    chasing shall be deemed to stand in the position of
    the original purchaser.
16. In case any doubt shall arise as to the con-
    struction 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.
