CONDITIONS OF SETTLEMENT.

Term of lease, thirty years; renewable for further periods
of twenty-one years.

Rents are payable half-yearly, on the first days of January
and July in each year.

No rent need be paid for the first two years. The unpaid
rent will, however, be added to the capital value, and rent
then paid on such increased value, or the arrears of rent can
be paid off at any time.

A fee of 10s. will be charged for registration of lease.

No lease shall be issued until after the payment of the
first half-year's rent.

Settlers shall not subdivide or sublet their holdings; but,
with the consent of the Commissioner of Crown Lands for
the district, they may transfer them, provided that all the
conditions of these regulations have been fulfilled to date of
application to transfer, and the two years' arrears of rent
paid in full.

Each settler or transferee will be required to occupy his
selection as his home, and to make substantial improvements.

The erection of a dwelling-house must be completed within
six months of the date of selection, and each settler must
reside on his section within that time. In bush-lands this
may be deferred until one month after the first burn, but no
longer.

In bush-lands each settler must begin bush-felling im-
mediately.

Those settlers who may desire an advance of £10 will
obtain payment from the Steward, on his certificate that
a dwelling-house of at least that value has been erected on
the land.

Each settler shall within two years cultivate one acre,
and within four years the half of the remainder, of his
selection, and make substantial improvements.

Substantial improvements shall mean—
(1.) Fencing the land with timber or other durable ma-
terials, 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; and, in case of bush-lands, the felling
and clearing of timber and sowing of grass.

Any person who has an interest in any land of more than
an acre in extent in the colony is not eligible to select.

No person can hold more than one section.

Married men will have preference as selectors.

No married women are eligible as selectors.

When more applications than one are made on the same
day for the same land, the right to occupy the land applied
for shall, subject to married men having the preference, be
determined by lot amongst the applicants.

Any settler who shall fail to comply with these regulations
in any respect shall, upon sufficient proof thereof to the
satisfaction of the Commissioner, forfeit his interest in the
land selected.
