Regulations for the Sale of Town and Suburban Allotments in the districts of Ngatiawa, Middle Taranaki, and Ngatiruanui.

1. All town and suburban allotments in the districts of Ngatiawa, Middle Taranaki, and Ngatiruanui, which may be offered for sale, shall in the first instance be put up for sale by auction, in open Court, by the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Province of Taranaki, or some other person duly authorized in that behalf by the Colonial Secretary.

2. The time and place of every such auction sale shall be fixed by the Colonial Secretary, and shall be notified in the Government Gazette of the Colony, at least forty-two days before such sale shall take place, and such notice shall specify the allotments to be sold, and the upset price of each, and shall note any case where allotments may be put up with improvements or in conjunction with other allotments.

3. Plans showing the allotments offered for sale, shall be open for inspection at the Land Office, New Plymouth, the Custom House, Whanganui, and at such other places as shall be specified in the notice of sale, for at least fourteen days prior to the day of any sale.

4. No bid shall be received at any such sale unless it be in advance of the previous bidding by at least one pound.

5. The purchaser of any lot shall immediately on it being knocked down to him, deposit with the Commissioner or other person by whom the sale is conducted, one-tenth of the purchase money, in cash, and shall pay the balance, in cash, within one calendar month, or forfeit his deposit.

6. In case of doubt as to the highest bidder for any lot, or in case the person to whom a lot has been knocked down shall fail to make the deposit above required, the Commissioner or other person by whom the sale is conducted, shall at once put up the lot again, at such upset price not being lower than the original upset price, nor higher than the highest bid, as he shall think fit.

7. The Colonial Secretary may order any lot to be withdrawn at any time before it is put up.

8. When any lot has been put up and not bought it shall remain open for purchase for cash at the upset price at the Land Office, New Plymouth, for twelve months, unless withdrawn in the meantime by the Colonial Secretary.

9. When the deposit on any lot shall have been forfeited by non-payment of the balance of the purchase money, the lot shall remain open for purchase for cash at the Land Office, New Plymouth, at the price at which it was knocked down unless withdrawn in the meantime by the Colonial Secretary.

10. Any lots withdrawn from sale by the Colonial Secretary may be put up to auction again at another time at such upset prices as he may direct.
