WHEREAS an application has been made for the consent
of the Land Sales Court to a transaction which
relates to the land described in the Schedule hereto and to
which Part III of the Servicemen's Settlement and Land
Sales Act, 1943, applies:

And whereas the Land Sales Committee to which the
application has been referred is of opinion that the land to
which the application relates is farm land suitable or adaptable for the settlement of a discharged serviceman:

no appeal from the said order was made within the time
prescribed by the said Act or within any further time allowed
by the Court:

And whereas the said land is not the land of any service-

Now, therefore, I, Clarence Farringdon Skinner, Minister
of Lands, acting in pursuance of section 51 of the said Act,
do hereby declare that the said land is taken for the set-
tlement of a discharged serviceman, and I hereby specify the
lst day of July, 1944, as the date on which the said land
shall be deemed to be vested in His Majesty the King.
