TERMS FOR PURCHASE OF LANDS IK THE SECOND SETTLEMENT. 1. The Company has determined upon the formation of a Second Settlement upon its territories in New ' Zealand, the site of which will be selected by an expedition, to be forthwith despatched for that purpose. It is intended that the site chosen shall be the best that may be available it the time of the selection being made ; and that the position, with reference to Port Nicholson and the rest of New Zealand, shall be such that the lands may reasonably be expected to advance in value with the utmost rapidity. The Company, therefore, herehy offers for sale 301,000 acres of'land in the proposed Second Settlement, upon the following terms :— 2. The lands are offered in 1,000 allotment] of 201 acres each. Each allotment will consist of three lections, vis., 150 acres of rural land, 60 acres of accommodation land in the immediate proximity of the town, and one town acre. The town will therefore comprise 1 ,000 acres, exclusive of reserves for public objects, such as streets, squares, churches, cemeteries, markets, and public gardens or parks. 3. The price of each allotment of 301 acres will be 'sB 300. 4.

The residue of the purchase-money will be required on a day of which public notice will be given. In case of default in payment of such residue by the day appointed, the deposit will thereupon become forfeited to the Company, together with all claim of the applicant to the land applied for. 5. On payment of his full purchase-money, each purchaser will receive, for each j£ 3oo so paid, three uparate landorders, viz., for the 150 acres of rural land, the so acres of accommodation land, and the town acre respectively.

The choice of the allotments, of which priority shall have been so determined, will take place in the settlement, is soon after the arrival of the first body of colonists as the requisite surveys and plans shall have been completed, and under such regulations as shall be prescribed by the Company's agent, duly authorised in that behalf.
