Abstract of Conditions.

Rent to be paid half-yearly in advance, the first payment
to be made on day of sale, being for the period from the 1st
March, 1890, to the 31st August, 1890.
A pasturage license shall entitle the holder thereof to the
exclusive right of pasturage over the lands specified therein,
but shall give no right to the soil, or timber, or minerals,
and shall immediately determine over any land which may
be proclaimed a hundred, or which may be licensed, leased,
purchased, granted, or reserved under this or any other Act.
Such roads and rights-of-way as the Governor or the Land
Board may deem necessary may at any time be taken
through any run without compensation.
No licensee of any run purchased hereunder shall be al-
lowed to transfer his interest therein without the consent of
the Land Board.
Twelve months before the expiration of the term of license
(if it shall be determined to again let the land for depastur-
ing purposes) the run shall be put up to public auction, sub-
ject to a valuation for improvements; such valuation in no
case to exceed three times the amount of the average annual
rental of the run. In the case where the run is not again
offered for lease, the licensee will be allowed to remove build-
ings, fencing, enclosures, or other improvements made by
him while lessee, at any time within three months after the
expiration of his license.
Runs may be divided, with the sanction of the Land Board,
and upon payment of £1 1s. for each subdivision.
If the licensee shall not pay the rent within fourteen days
after it shall become due he shall become liable to a penalty
of not more than £1 for every day that such rent shall be
in arrear, and if such rent, together with the full amount of
the penalty, be not paid within three months after such due
date the license shall forthwith be declared forfeited.
The licensee of any run shall have the right, with the
consent of the Land Board, to select and occupy as a home-
stead an area of not exceeding 150 acres, which shall be
exempt from the right of determination during the currency
of his license.

The lease will be for an absolute term of twenty-one years,
renewable for a further term of twenty-one years, in accord-
ance with section 209 of "The Land Act, 1885."
Improvements equal in value to one year's rent must be
effected in each year for the first two years, and before the
end of the sixth year an additional amount, equal to two
years' rent, must also be expended.
Valuations for permanent improvements, as described in
sections 210 and 214 of "The Land Act, 1885," will be paid
at the expiry of the leases to the outgoing tenants.
No person can take up more than one run. No person
who owns freehold land or land held under lease or license
from the Crown which in all would exceed 21,000 acres, or
who is incapable of making the declaration prescribed by
section 200 of "The Land Act, 1885," can become a lessee.
Every lessee will have to reside on the land he leases
within twelve months of the commencement of his lease, and
thereafter for a period of six consecutive years. But the
Land Board may relax this condition in the case of any
lessee who is actually residing on any freehold or leasehold
land of his own which is situated within ten miles of the
land leased by him.
For a period of fourteen years from the date of the lease
one-fourth of the rents will be handed over to the County
Council or Road Board of the district, to be expended in the
maintenance or construction of the roads leading to and
opening up the land.
Intending purchasers must be prepared to hand to the
auctioneer, on the fall of the hammer, a declaration signed
and witnessed by a Justice of the Peace, as required by
section 200 of "The Land Act, 1885." In the event of any
purchaser failing to produced the required declaration, the lot
will be put up again and resold.
The first half-year's rent, from the 1st March, 1890, to the
31st August, 1890, together with £1 11s. for the lease, must
