IMMIGRATION.

FINAL NOTICE.

Provincial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, June 29th, 1854.

THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT,
having completed arrangements for
a line of Emigration from Great Britain
to Wellington, persons desirous of availing
themselves of it on behalf of relatives,
friends, or laborers to be nominated in
England, are requested to make early
application in writing at the office of the
Provincial Secretary, particularising the
names, probable ages, and places of
residence of the proposed Emigrants.

Regulations.

1. Repayment of the passage money
   to be secured by Promissory Note, signed
   by the applicant and one other party
   approved by Government, payable on
   demand, and of which payment will be
   required by two instalments at twelve
   and twenty-four months respectively, after
   the arrival of the Emigrants in Welling-
   ton, except in case of applicant or surety
   leaving the Colony, when immediate pay-
   ment will be required, or provision must
   be made for the same.

2. As a further security, and to protect
   the parties on whose application the
   Emigrant is brought out, Emigrant him-
   self (or head of a family where there are
   women and children) will, before em-
   barking, be required to give Promissory
   Notes, payable on demand, which will be
   forwarded to the Local Government.

3. In case of any Emigrant applied for
   accepting the offer of a passage, but not
   presenting himself for embarkation at the
   time and place appointed by the Agents
   in England, and so being left behind,
   one-half of the passage money will be
   forfeited, and must be paid to the Pro-
   vincial Government, on demand, by the
   applicants in the Colony; for which the
   first mentioned Promissory Notes will be
   a security.

4. In order to secure punctuality and
   prevent disappointment, a special Clerk
   will be employed by the Shipping Agents
   in England, who, on receipt of requisitions from the Provincial Government,
   will communicate with the intending
   Emigrants, ascertain when they will be
   prepared to start, give notice in duplicate
   of the port and day of departure, and
