Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the one hundred and sixty-third section
of "The Land Act, 1885," it is enacted that the
Governor in Council may from time to time make, alter, and
repeal regulations for fixing the terms and conditions upon
which the lands in any special settlement shall be disposed
of, and the mode of payment for the same :

And whereas it is deemed expedient to make further regu-
lations for the establishment of village homestead special-
settlement associations :

Now, therefore, I, William Francis Drummond Jervois,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance
and exercise of the power and authority conferred upon me
by the hereinbefore in part recited Act, and by and with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said
colony, do hereby fix the following terms and conditions as
those upon which village homestead special-settlement asso-
ciation blocks shall be disposed of on perpetual leasing, and
the mode of payment for the same.

REGULATIONS.

1. Any association of persons of not less than twelve, who
   may be desirous of settling on Crown lands adjacent to
   each other, may arrange with the Government for a block of
   land on the following general conditions :—

2. Before a block of land is set apart under these regula-
   tions, a deposit of 10s. will be required from the secretary of
   the association on behalf of each member thereof. The
   secretary shall also furnish the Commissioner of Crown
   Lands for the district with the name and address of each
   member of the association.

3. In the event of any member withdrawing before the
   allotment of the sections, the deposit of 10s. will be forfeited,
   but another person may take the place of the member so
   withdrawing on payment of a further sum of 10s.

4. On approval of any block of land that may be selected,
   the necessary surveys will be executed by the Government.

5. The allotment of sections to members of the association
   shall be made at such time and in such manner as the asso-
   ciation may, with the consent of the Commissioner of Crown
   Lands, determine.

6. The land to be selected under these regulations shall
   be held on perpetual lease for the first term of thirty years,
   and for subsequent terms of twenty-one years, without any
   right of acquiring the freehold.
