IT is hereby notified that the under-mentioned lands will be open for application as village-homestead allotments, under Part IV. of “The Land Act, 1892,” at the Argyle Hall, Hunterville, on Wednesday, the 10th day of January, 1894. Applications must be made on the proper forms, and will be received at this office and also at the above-mentioned place.

Application forms and full particulars can be obtained at this office.

These lands are being opened for the purpose of providing homestead sites for intending settlers. Any person putting in an application in contravention of the conditions under which the land is opened is liable to be prosecuted for making a false declaration, and any section obtained thereby is, in accordance with the conditions, forfeited. Alleged ignorance of the conditions will not, after this notice, be accepted as an excuse for persons putting in applications who hold other lands, and who are not eligible to apply.
