9. Each applicant for a deferred-payment section will be required to make the declaration prescribed in the Second Schedule hereto, and shall at the time of application deposit with the Receiver of Land Revenue for the land district one-tenth of the price of the allotment; such payment shall be deemed to be a discharge of the license-fee for the six months due on the next first day of January or July following the date of the license, as the case may be; and, upon fulfilment of the terms and conditions prescribed by the said Act relating to land on deferred payments, will be entitled to the Crown grant, to be issued in the usual way.
