12. On the receipt of such notice the Commissioner of Crown Lands shall thereupon make application to the Valuer-General to determine, in accordance with section 28 of the said Act, as modified by these regulations, the price of the land included in the plan.

13. For the purpose of such determination the provisions of section 28 of the said Act are hereby under the authority of Part II of the Land Laws Amendment Act, 1912, as amended by section 40 of the said Act, modified in the manner following:—

(a.) Every reference in section 28 of the said Act to the capital value of the land comprised in the license shall be construed as a reference to the capital value of that part of the land comprised in the license which is included in the said plan.

(b.) Every reference in section 28 of the said Act to improvements shall be construed as a reference to improvements effected on the land included in the said plan.

18. The annual rental payable by the licensee under his license to occupy pastoral lands within the Hauraki Mining District for the land not included in his purchase, shall, as from the date of the delivery of the notice to purchase, be abated so as to bear the same proportion to that rental as the original capital value of the land not purchased by the licensee (as apportioned under paragraph (d) of Regulation 13 hereof) bears to the original capital value of the whole of the land included in the license.

19. On the completion of a purchase for cash, or on the payment of the deposit payable in respect of a purchase on deferred payments, if the original license is registered under the Land Transfer Act, 1908, the Commissioner of Crown Lands shall deliver to the District Land Registrar, together with the license, a certificate under his hand, in the form No. 12 in the Schedule hereto, indicating the reduced area and rental of the license.
