10. Within twelve months after arrival the Selec-
    tor shall erect or cause to be erected on the land
    forty dwelling-houses, to be well and substantially
    built of timber or other durable materials, each of
    such dwelling-houses to contain at least three rooms;
    and there shall be a dwelling-house to each block
    occupied by a settler. If the Selector fails to erect
    such dwelling-houses, no settler shall be entitled to
    his grant till this condition be complied with.

11. Each settler shall continuously reside on the
    land selected or occupied by him until the first day of
    January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-six.
    One-fifth of the land so occupied shall be brought
    into cultivation before the said first day of January;
    and, for the purposes of these regulations, cultivation
    shall mean-
    (1.) Fencing the land with timber or other durable
    materials, not being a brush fence; or
    (2.) Breaking up and laying down the same in
    English or other cultivated grass; or
    (3.) Breaking up and planting or sowing root or
    other crops therein.

12. Each settler occupying a block of land shall have
    the right, at any time prior to the first day of
    January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-
    six, to acquire such block by purchase, at a price
    per acre and payable in such manner as may be
    agreed upon between the Selector and the settler;
    but the settler shall be entitled at any time to pay
    up the balance unpaid of such purchase-money, and
    to get his Crown grant hereunder.

13. Each settler shall be entitled to his grant upon
    proof to the satisfaction of the Governor that he has
    fulfilled the conditions herein contained as to cul-
    tivation, and also that he has paid to the Selector
    the price agreed upon for the purchase. The written
    statement of the Selector that he has been paid in
    full shall be sufficient evidence that full payment
    has been made.

14. If at any time previous to the first day of
    January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-six,
    the said selector shall have faithfully performed the
    foregoing terms and conditions as hereinbefore
    required, then the Governor shall cause a Crown
    grant to be issued to the said Selector for so much
    of the land as has not been taken up by settlers.

15. Every grant issued under these regulations
    shall contain an express power to the Governor at
    any time to take not exceeding five per cent. of the
    land comprised therein for roads, railways, or other
    public works, without payment of any compensation
    for the land so taken, and each grant shall be issued
    subject to the payment of the usual Crown grant
    fees.

16. If the Selector shall not well and faithfully
    fulfil the terms and conditions of these regulations, or
    shall commit or suffer any breach thereof (of which
    the Governor shall be sole judge), or shall fail in
    the observance or performance of all or any of the
    said conditions, then these regulations and every
    clause therein contained shall cease and be void,
    and neither the said Selector nor any settler or
    other person whomsoever shall have any claim or
    demand to or in respect of the said land, nor for
    any compensation on account thereof. Provided
    that if any settler has fulfilled all the conditions
    hereinbefore prescribed, he shall nevertheless be
    entitled to his grant; and the Governor may receive
    and act upon such evidence as he shall deem
    sufficient, as to the payment of the purchase-money
    by the settler to the Selector, and the grant may
    issue accordingly.

17. The Selector shall not be at liberty to assign
    his rights or privileges as such selector (otherwise
    than in accordance with the foregoing terms and

conditions) without the written consent of the Go-
vernor first obtained.
