Jan. 28.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 261

Run No. 130 (Dillon).—Situate at the south-western corner of the Land District of Marlborough, north-east of the Guide, Acheron, and Clarence Rivers. A large proportion of this run is composed of high ranges of travelling shingle; the lower slopes and river-flats are well grassed—the southern portion, known as “Bullen’s Hills,” particularly so. This run is about thirty-five miles from Culverden.

The above runs will be sold generally in accordance with the provisions of Part VI. of “The Land Act, 1892.”

Possession will be given on the 1st March, 1897.

Purchasers must deposit a statutory declaration required by section 62 of “The Land Act, 1892,” and pay the sum of the half-year’s rent, license-fee, and valuation for improvements (if any) on fall of the hammer.

Maps will be ready about the 1st February.

C. W. ADAMS,
Commissioner of Crown Lands.
