All those lands situated within the Mining Districts of Gabriel’s and Waitahuna, being a part of the Tuapeka gold-field, formerly known as Runs No. 53 and 54, and bounded on the North-west by the Tuapeka River, on the North and North-east by the boundary of Run No. 52, on the East by the west branch of the Tokomairiro River, on the South-east by the boundary of the Tokomairiro Hundred, and on the South-west by the boundary of the Tuapeka gold-field.

REGULATIONS.

  1. Every Application for an agricultural lease must be made (in the form of the Schedule hereto annexed, or to the like effect) through the Warden of the District wherein the land is situate, and must be accompanied by a Deposit of Five pounds (£5) to cover the costs of survey. The balance, if any, of such deposit will be returned after the application has been finally dealt with.

  2. The boundaries of the area applied for must be marked out on the ground by trenches, and substantial posts at each corner thereof.

  3. Every such area must be rectangular in form, unless a creek or river or other natural obstacle renders a deviation from the rectangular form necessary.
