And the lessee hereby covenants with the lessor as fol-

(1.) The lessee shall not nor will at any time during the
said term assign, underlet, or part with the possession of the
demised premises, or any part thereof, without the previous

any buildings from time to time the lessee will abide by and
conform to the alignment of streets and roads, and also to
all the by-laws and regulations from time to time in force,
or made or passed by the local authority for the time being
intrusted, under “ The Native Townships Act, 1895,” with
the administration of the local affairs of the said township,
by whatever name or designation such local authority may
for the time being be called, but hereinafter referred to as
“ the local authority.”
(4.) The lessee will from time to time construct, maintain,
and keep all such privies, ashpits, and other works of a
similar character as may be ordered or directed by the local
authority ; and, in cutting and laying of drains and channels

regulations for the time being in force providing for the

boiler, tallow-chandler, tanner, slaughterman, meat curer or
preserver, or any noisy, noxious, or offensive trade or manu-
facture of any kind whatever.
(6.) The lessee will permit the lessor, or any person on her
behalf duly authorised as hereinafter provided, from time to
time to enter upon the demised premises at all reasonable
times to view the state and condition thereof, and upon
notice of any defect or want of repair being given to the
lessee, or left for him on the premises, the lessee will,
within one month thereafter, make good any such defect or
want of repair :
Provided always that whenever the rent hereby reserved
or any part thereof is in arrear for twenty-one days the same
may be levied by distress without any previous demand of
payment or notice of any kind : Provided further that, if the
lessee makes default for thirty days in the full and punctual
payment of any of the said rent, or if he makes default in
the faithful performance or observance of any other covenant
or condition on his part herein contained or implied, or if
the Commissioner is satisfied that the land comprised in
this lease is being held unused and to the hindrance of the
trade and progress of the said township, then and in any
such case, and without any notice or demand whatsoever, it
shall be lawful for the lessor to re-enter upon the demised
premises and thereby determine this lease, and that without
releasing the lessee from any liability in respect of any rent
due or of any preceding breach of covenant.
And it is hereby declared and agreed as follows, that is to
say,—
(1.) The rent hereby reserved may be paid to the Receiver
of Land Revenue for the time being of the Land District of
Wellington, on behalf of the lessor, and the receipt of such
Receiver shall be a good discharge to the lessee.
(2.) Any power which may be exercisable under these pre-
sents by or on behalf of the lessor may from time to time be
exercised by the Commissioner, or by any person whom he
from time to time appoints for that purpose.
(3.) Service on the lessee of any notice under this lease
may be effected either personally or by posting the same in a
registered letter addressed to him, either at his last-known
place of business or abode in the colony or at the demised
land.
(4.) The lessee, faithfully observing and performing all the
covenants, conditions, and agreements on his part herein
contained or implied, shall, on the expiration by effluxion of
time of the term hereby granted, or of any renewal thereof,
have the right to a renewal of the lease, or to valuation for
all substantial improvements of a permanent character made
or owned by him and then existing on the demised land :
Provided that such right shall exist only to the extent and
subject to the conditions following, that is to say :—
(1.) Not sooner than nine nor later than six months
before the expiration of the said term by effluxion
of time two separate valuations shall be made in
manner prescribed (mutatis mutandis) by sections
79 and 80 of “ The Land Act, 1892,” of
(a.) All such improvements as aforesaid ; and of
(b.) The annual ground-rent of the land (ex-
clusive of such improvements as aforesaid) for a
fresh term of twenty-one years.
(2.) After the making and publishing of the aforesaid
valuations, which shall be effected by serving a
copy thereof on the lessee and another copy on
the Commissioner, but not later than one month
before the date of such expiration as aforesaid,
the lessee shall, by notice in writing served on the
Commissioner, elect whether he will accept a new
lease of the demised land (including the aforesaid
improvements) for a fresh term of twenty-one
years, computed from the date of such expiration
as aforesaid, at the annual ground-rent ascertained
by valuation as aforesaid, and subject in all other
respects to the same covenants and conditions as
those of this present lease.
(3.) If for any reason the lessee does not duly elect in
manner aforesaid to accept such new lease, or if,
having duly elected, he for any reason does not
execute such new lease when requested by the
Commissioner so to do, his right to a new
lease shall be and be deemed to be abandoned,
and the land shall be disposed of by lease at such
time, in such manner, and subject to such con-
ditions not inconsistent with the said Act and the
regulations for the time being in force thereunder
as the Commissioner thinks fit : Provided that it
shall be one of the conditions of the new lease
that the new lessee pays to the Commissioner the
amount at which the improvements (if then exist-
ing) have been valued as aforesaid, or such less
amount as the Commissioner thinks just, having
regard to the extent to which such improvements
have deteriorated since the date of the original
valuation ; and all moneys actually received by
the Commissioner in respect of such valuation
shall be paid over to the lessee under this present
lease, or a renewal thereof, as soon as the Com-
missioner is satisfied that the new lessee has been
admitted into full and quiet possession of the
premises : Provided further that in no case shall
the lessee have any claim against the Crown or
the Commissioner in respect of any such im-
provements, or of the value thereof, save to the
extent of the moneys which are actually received
as aforesaid from the new lessee, and available
for payment, and which the lessee under this
present lease becomes actually entitled to.

In witness whereof these presents have been executed by
or on behalf of the parties hereto, the day and year first
above written.
