The said promissory notes shall be cancelled and returned as the value of the timber represented by them has been cut out and paid for by royalty; or should any breach of the conditions occur, such as an undue delay in the payment of the instalments of royalty as they become due from time to time, or for any other breach of the conditions, the Land Board shall have the right to present one or both of the uncancelled promissory notes as it shall think fit.

4. The purchaser of the lot shall have the right to cut all the timber thereon during a period of two years from the date of sale, and it shall be a condition that his mill shall be in working-order within six months from date of sale; and such mill shall thereafter be kept continuously working at a reasonable rate of speed.
