GLASGOW, Governor.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred upon me by the one hundred and thirty-sixth section of “The Land Act, 1892,” I, David, Earl of Glasgow, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, having received the report of the Surveyor-General in this behalf, as in the said section is provided, do hereby declare that the rural lands enumerated in the Schedule hereto shall be open for sale or selection on and after the twenty-eighth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-six; and also that the lands mentioned in the said Schedule may, at the option of the applicant, be purchased for cash, or be selected for occupation with right of purchase or on lease in perpetuity, or, in respect of any lands containing or supposed to contain any metal, mineral, or valuable stone, be selected on lease in perpetuity only; and I do hereby also fix the prices at which the said lands shall be sold, occupied, or leased, as mentioned in the said Schedule hereto, and do declare that the said lands shall be sold, occupied, or leased under and subject to the provisions of “The Land Act, 1892.”

SCHEDULE.
WELLINGTON LAND DISTRICT.

SECOND-CLASS LAND.

These sections are situated on the western bank of the Waitotara River, lying in a north-westerly direction from the Waitotara Township, the present access being from the Waitotara Township, from which the land is distant, via the Mangawhio Road, about twenty miles, which is formed as far as McConochie’s Bridge, over the Waitotara River, as a dray-road; from thence another mile is in course of construction to the northern boundary of Section 5. A more direct route from the land later on will probably be by road down the Waitotara River and by Puao Road through the University Reserve; thence by Mangawhio Road on to Waitotara Township. This route is, with the exception of three or four miles at the northern end, constructed either as a dray- or horse-road. The sections consist of undulating land, sloping towards the river, the soil varying from poor to good. There is a good homestead-site on each section, of moderate size, along the river. The land is well watered, and, with the exception of some old native clearings on the river, the whole is heavily timbered, the timber consisting chiefly of birch on the ridges, and tawa, tawhero, rimu, hinau, kahikatea, and other mixed forest on the slopes and valleys.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this eleventh day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-six.
