Immigration Board Office,
Wellington, Feb. 1st, 1856.
THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT having again completed arrangements for a line of Immigration from Great Britain to Wellington, persons desirous of availing themselves of it on behalf of relatives, friends, or labourers, to be nominated in England, are requested to make early application in writing at the office of the Immigration Board, particularising the names, probable ages, and places of residence of the proposed Emigrants.
REGULATIONS.
-
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 equal instalments, the first on the arrival of the Emigrants in Wellington, the second in twelve months after, except in case of applicant or surety leaving the Colony, when immediate payment will be required, or provision must be made for the same.

As a further security, and to protect the parties on whose application the Emigrant is brought out, the Emigrant himself, (or head of a family where there are women and children) will, before embarking, be required to give promissory notes, payable on demand, which will be forwarded to the Local Government.
-
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 Provincial Government, on demand, by the applicants in the Colony; for which the first-mentioned Promissory Notes will be a security.
-
A depot, or other provision for temporary board and lodging, will be provided at the ports of embarkation at the expense of the Agent, in case of the ship not sailing to the day.
