LEASES UNDER APPENDIX E OF "THE LAND ACT
1877."

1. All persons desiring leases of unoccupied por-
   tions of Crown lands (not exceeding 320 acres) shall
   lodge with the Commissioner of Crown lands an
   application and description thereof in the form or to
   the effect of the First Schedule hereto, and shall at
   the time of lodging such application pay to the
   Receiver of Land Revenue a deposit of 1s. 9d. per
   acre towards the expense of the survey for every acre
   of the land so applied for. No deposit in any case
   shall be less than £1.

2. The deposit so paid shall be placed to the credit
   of the applicant, and applied, first, towards the ex-
   penses of such survey and the publication of the
   notice hereafter mentioned, and if there shall be any
   surplus the same shall be applied towards the pay-
   ment of any rent payable in respect of the land
   applied for.

3. If the application is refused by the Board, the
   amount of deposit paid in respect of such application
   shall be repaid to the applicant.

4. Before any application for a lease shall be
   granted by the Board, the Commissioner shall publish
   in some newspaper circulating in the district, once
   in each week for two consecutive weeks, a notice
   setting forth particulars of the application in such
   form as the Commissioner shall consider best.

5. All sections of land to be leased shall, as far as
   the features of the country will admit, and, except in
   the case of natural boundaries, be of a rectangular
   form, and no section shall be laid off in such manner
   as, in the opinion of the Board, to render less avail-
   able for sale or lease, or injuriously to affect in value
   any other Crown lands.

6. As soon as conveniently may be after the survey
   and determination of the rent, a lease executed by
   the Commissioner may be issued by the Board to the
   applicant, but no lease shall be executed by the
   Commissioner until the Board has approved thereof.
