No liability is accepted by or on behalf of the Crown in

of stock and improvements.

Where fences form the boundary between Crown lands
offered for lease and freehold land, the purchaser of such
lease will be liable to the provisions of any law now or here-

Plans and full particulars can be obtained on application
