Note.—The compiler thinks it right to state that a very large proportion of the Replies in Columns 12 and 13 are from persons in the suburbs of Dunedin, the Goldfields Districts, and elsewhere holding small areas of land, who are evidently engaged in other occupations, as well as in the cultivation of their own land. In the Goldfields Districts, these are nearly all miners, occupying small areas in virtue of their Miner's Rights.

Some of the more valuable of the special replies under column 14 are given in the appendix.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
