These promissory notes will be presented—the first at an interval of four months from the date of sale, and the others at subsequent intervals of four months; but they may be presented for payment at earlier dates if more than a due proportion of timber is found to be cut, or should any breach of the conditions occur, or if in the opinion of the Commissioner the interest of the Crown is jeopardized.

The timber shall be cut in a face, and the Crown reserves the right of following up the mill-workings by felling and grassing such areas as from time to time will have been cleared of milling-timber, or of disposing of the land. Sufficient timber shall be left for fencing and general farming purposes.

6. The licensee shall not put, throw, or place, or allow to be put, thrown, or placed, into any river, stream, or watercourse, or into any place where it may be washed into any river, stream, or watercourse, any sawdust or other sawmill refuse.

7. In the event of the above not being disposed of, applications may be received and dealt with at any time within six months from the above date of sale (unless previously formally withdrawn); provided, however, that the amount offered is not less than the upset price stated herein.

8. No compensation will be given nor shall any be claimed for any error, discrepancy, or misdescription whatever in respect of the lot or in these conditions.

9. Any timber not specified milled for sale shall be purchased at the rate of 6d. per 100 sup. ft.

The measurements are quarter girth measurements.
