Every tender must be accompanied by six months' rent at the rate tendered, the sum of
£3 3s. to pay for the lease and registration thereof, and the amount of stamp-duty payable on
the lease and counterpart. Marked cheques will be received (which must include bank ex-
change), or post-office orders.

Successful tenderers will be notified in writing by the Public Trustee of the acceptance of
their tenders, and must, within thirty days after notice by registered letter shall have been
posted in the General Post Office, Wellington, addressed to the tenderer at the address given
in the tender, execute leases in triplicate.

All rates and taxes due in respect of the above lands accruing after the 30th September,
1893, must be paid by the lessee.

Every tender, where the rental tendered is less than the upset rental fixed as aforesaid, will
be informal and incapable of being accepted, and no tender will be accepted unless the same
is closed up and accompanied by the statutory declaration as provided by section 50 of the
above Act, together with such six months' rent and £3 3s. as above-mentioned.

The highest tenderer, if his tender equals or exceeds the upset rental, will be declared the
lessee, and be entitled to possession so soon as he has executed the lease thereof in triplicate,
and has complied with all other conditions lawfully prescribed in that behalf.

If the rent tendered by two or more persons is of the same amount, and is higher than
that offered by other tenderers, the Public Trustee will, after opening all the tenders, decide
by lot, in such manner as he thinks fit, which of such persons shall be declared the lessee.

The deposits and fees paid by the unsuccessful tenderers will be returned to them upon
application.

If any person declared a lessee fails to execute his lease within thirty days after being
required by notice so to do, then his deposit and the above-mentioned sum of £3 3s. will be
absolutely forfeited to the Public Trustee, and the right of such person to obtain such lease
will absolutely cease and determine.

The lease and the provisions thereof to be executed by the successful tenderer and the
Public Trustee are set out in the above-mentioned regulations, but the Public Trustee reserves
the right to make any modifications therein as he thinks fit.

Persons proposing to tender are referred to the above-mentioned Act and regulations,
which are to be deemed part of this notice.

If from any cause whatever the Public Trustee is unable to grant a lease of any of the
lands above referred to, the successful tenderer shall have no claim for damages or compen-
sation.

The area of each lot is believed to be correctly described in the foregoing list, but if the
area is less than that specified in such list the successful tenderer shall be bound to take a
lease of such lesser area without any allowance of compensation.

If the area of any lot is larger than that set out in the said list the Public Trustee
reserves the right, by notice in writing to the successful tenderer, to annul the contract, but
without payment of any compensation or damages whatever.

This notice is to be deemed part of any contract for the grant of a lease of any of the
above-mentioned lands to any successful tenderer.
