A number of runholders have published advertisements cautioning persons against applying for land on deferred payment on their runs, as no land or runs can be legally sold under the deferred payment system ; and they announce that in case any such application be made, it is their intention to oppose the same, and, if necessary, to take legal proceedings for preventing such sale, and ejecting the purchaser.
