CROWN LANDS.

Notice to Purchasers of Land under the "Otago Land Regulations, of 1st April, 1856."

THE decision of the Supreme Court in the matter of the Attorney General v. Jones having been given in favor of the Crown, the attention of purchasers of land under the "Otago Land Regulations, 1856," is directed to the following clause of the "Waste Land Act, 1863," No. 2:

FORMER APPLICANTS MAY—COMPOUND—TAKE PART OF HIS LAND—OR COME UNDER THIS ACT.

VIII. Any person who at any time before the passing of this Act shall have applied for the purchase of Land, under the Land Regulations then in force, and shall have obtained from the Waste Land Board a certificate entitling him to take possession of the Land specified in his application, but who shall not have expended on such Land Forty Shillings per acre in improvements, so as to entitle him to a Crown Grant thereof, under the said Regulations (hereinafter styled a "former purchaser") may elect to do any one of the following things:—

COMPOUND.

1. To pay to the Receiver of Land Revenue, at his office, a sum of money equal to Ten shillings per acre on the quantity of Land comprised in his certificate, and be entitled forthwith to a Crown Grant, in fee simple free from conditions.

2. To take a Crown Grant in fee simple without conditions, for two-thirds in value of the land comprised in such certificate, to be ascertained to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Crown Lands.

3. To take a Crown Grant in fee simple, subject to the tax imposed by this Act and the provisions hereof relating thereto.

OTHERWISE TO STAND ON THEIR RIGHTS.

IX. Any such former purchaser who shall not within six months after the coming into operation of this Act, elect to do any one of the aforementioned things and signify the same in writing to the Waste Land Board, shall be deemed to have decided to stand upon his rights and to remain subject to his liabilities as though this Act had not been passed.

The attention of such purchasers is further directed to the fact that the "Waste Land Act, 1863," No. 2, came into force on the 29th September, 1864, consequently the period within which a purchaser can elect to do any of the things set forth in sub-clauses 1, 2, and 3 of section VIII, will expire on the 20th day of March next.
