First-class Land.

SECTION 12, Block VIII.: Area, 5 acres; half-yearly rental, £2 16s; weighted with £84 for improvements.

Description of Land.—First-class flat land, in grass. The following improvements are now on the land: Dwelling-house and sheds; 1½ acres cleared of rushes, being ploughed and cropped last season and now lying fallow; garden and young orchard with live hedge and ornamental trees; while 8 chains of the boundary-fence have been erected (of which a share belongs to the lessee) and 8 chains of subdivisional fencing.

The Waimarie Settlement is situated ten miles from Gisborne on the main road from that town to Motu and Opotiki, the upper end reaching to within half a mile of the Ormond Village.
