(3.) May comprise the whole or any portion of the land in the surrendered lease; and

SECOND SCHEDULE.

APPLICATION UNDER “THE PASTORAL TENANTS' RELIEF ACT, 1895,” THAT RENT OR SHEEP-RATE DUE TO THE CROWN MAY BE POSTPONED.

To the Chairman of the Land Board,
In pursuance of section 10 of “The Pastoral Tenants' Relief Act, 1895,” I hereby apply that the __ due by me on __, 189, amounting to £__, may be postponed until after my application for relief, sent herewith [or already sent to your office] has been finally disposed of by your Board.
The land in respect to which this application refers is Section No. __, Block No. __, Survey District of __, containing __ acres, more or less.
I am aware of the penalties to which I expose myself in the event of this application being found to be frivolous or unwarranted.

Name of applicant: __
Address of applicant: __

Date: __

Every applicant is specially requested to read sections 10 and 11 of the Act, indorsed hereon, before making the application, as, in the event of the same being found to be frivolous or unwarranted, he will be liable to the penalty thereby imposed.

Sections 10 and 11 herein referred to.

10. In any case where a tenant applies or signifies his intention to apply for relief under this Act, and makes request in the prescribed form that the payment of any rent or sheep-rate be postponed until the application for relief is finally disposed of, the Minister, if he thinks fit, may grant such postponement.

11. In order to prevent frivolous or unwarranted applications for relief, and requests for postponement of rent or sheep-rate, it is hereby declared as follows:—
    (1.) The tenant shall be liable to pay interest at the rate of five per centum per annum on the amount of all rent and sheep-rate the payment whereof is postponed as aforesaid, computed from the respective due dates thereof, until the same is paid.
    (2.) Such postponement shall not relieve the tenant from the penalties (if any) to which he would otherwise be liable by reason of non-payment of such rent or sheep-rate.
    (3.) If, after obtaining such postponement, the tenant omits to duly make application for relief, or his application is not granted, proceedings shall forthwith thereafter be taken to enforce payment as well of the rent or sheep-rate in arrear as also of all such interest and penalties, unless the Land Board reports to the Minister that the tenant had acted throughout in good faith and had reasonable grounds to suppose himself entitled to relief, in which case the Minister may waive such interest and penalties upon such terms (if any) as he thinks fit to impose.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this second day of November, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five.

JOHN McKENZIE,
Minister of Lands.
