These runs are situated on the north bank of the Waima-

manuka scrub; the soil is generally light and stony, but
there are areas of better quality. The elevation above sea-

   thousand head of cattle may become the lessee of an aggre-
   gate area sufficient to carry such a number of sheep or
   cattle. The holder of any small grazing-run under Part V.

   Canterbury Land District for the time being, may at any
   time determine the license by giving to the licensee, or send-
   ing to him through the ordinary course of post, or leaving on
   the run one year's previous notice in writing of their inten-
   tion so to do; the last payment of rent in such case to be a
   proportionate part of the said annual rent from the last day
   for payment of rent up to the date of such determination.
   No compensation whatever shall be payable to the licensee
   on account of such determination.

   amongst others:—
   That if the licensee or any person claiming an interest
   through or under him shall make or cause to be made any
   agreement or contract, or shall give or cause to be given or
   taken any negotiable security, for the purpose of defeating or
   evading the provisions of, or shall in any way whatsoever
   directly or indirectly commit or be privy to a fraud upon,
   "The Land Act, 1892," the license shall be liable to be
   forfeited and revoked:
   That the licensee shall prevent the destruction or burning
   of timber or bush on the land comprised in the license:

   to be removed all gorse, sweet-briar, broom, or other noxious
   weeds or plants, as may be directed by the Commissioner:
   and
   That the licensee shall destroy all rabbits on the land
   comprised in the license, and shall prevent their increase or
   spread, to the satisfaction of the Commissioner or an officer
   appointed by him to inspect the ground.

5. The licensee shall have the exclusive right of pasturage
   over the lands specified in his license, but shall have no
   right to the soil, or timber, or minerals thereon or therein.

6. One half year's rent and a license-fee of £1 1s. shall be
   paid on the fall of the hammer, and the purchaser shall
   make a declaration in terms of section 195 of "The Land
   Act, 1892." The rent shall be paid half-yearly in advance,
   on the 1st March and the 1st September in each year during
   the term of the license. Should the half-yearly rental at
   any period not be paid within thirty days a penalty of 10 per
   cent. in addition will be enforced.

7. No liability is accepted by or on behalf of the Crown in
   respect of any fencing at present existing upon the Crown
