TABLE OF LAND REGULATIONS.

"The existing Land Regulations were proclaimed in August, 1864, and special Regulations for Mining Leases, and for the occupation of Land in the far North and Eastern Districts in January, 1865. It is not necessary here to publish the Regulations in detail, but they may be shortly summarized."

Sale of Crown Lands.

"The Crown Lands are classified as Town, Suburban, Country, and Mineral. "Town and Suburban Lands are sold by auction, at upset prices regulated by the Governor. "Ordinary Country Lands are sold, at the fixed price of 10s. per acre, to the first bonâ fide applicant for the same, in lots not less than 40 acres each. "A deposit of one-tenth the purchase money is payable when the Land is applied for, and the balance within one month afterwards, with title-deed fee of 1l. "Remissions granted to Military or Naval Officers and Men."

Pastoral Land.

"For Pastoral purposes the Crown Lands are divided into Class A and Class B; and in the North and East districts into Classes A and C. Class A Lands are let for one year only, under Depasturing Licences.
