    and the following conditions and such additional conditions
    as the Commissioner in his discretion considers necessary.
  2. The quantities set forth in the above Schedule are
    approximate only, and are furnished for the information of
    intending purchasers, who are expected, previous to the
    sale, to make their own estimate of the quantity of timber
    on each lot. No contract for purchase shall be voidable,
    nor shall the licensee be entitled to any abatement in price,
    by reason of the said timber being of less quantity, quality,
    and kind than as stated herein, nor shall any extra sum be
    claimed by the Crown if the quantity of timber is found to
    be in excess of that stated herein.
  3. The promissory notes will be presented at intervals
    as indicated in the terms of payment, but they may be
    presented for payment at earlier dates if more than a due
    proportion of the timber is found to be cut, or should any

    Commissioner the interest of the Crown is jeopardized.
  4. The purchaser of the timber shall have no right to the
    use of the land.
  5. The timber in the lot shall be cut in a face, and the

    cleared of milling-timber. Sufficient timber shall be left
    on each section for fencing and general farming purposes.
    Cutting must commence within six months of date of sale,
    and be continuous during the currency of the license.
  6. The Land Board may authorize the laying-down and
    working of tram-lines through these lots by other persons
    than the licensees of the particular lots affected.
  7. 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,

    for any error, discrepancy, or misdescription whatever in

    or in logs, shall remain the property of the Crown until all
    the instalments are paid.

    the Commissioner of Crown Lands shall be final and conclusive.
  12. The lot will be sold generally in accordance with the
    area and boundaries as shown on the sale map lodged in the
