NOTICE. TO THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT OF NEW ZEALAND, OR TO THOSE WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. T HEREBY GIVE NOTICE that it is my intention to repudiate the sale, by my wife, Mrs. Kate Wyiiir, of the GISBORNE TOWN LANDS, to the General Government, so far as her interest therein is concerned, on the principle that, as a feme 'corerl, she had no power to sell or alienate her estate in the same, —nor can such sale, on her part, be enforced by the Government, either at law or in equity. I now therefore propose to refund to the Government, the amount received by Mrs Wyllie, as part of the purchase money of the said Block, (£55 Ils), with interest thereon, from the date of pavment; and will, in CONJUNCTION with MY WIFE, proceed WITHOUT DELAY to deal with her interest in said Block, in such manner of way (by leasing or selling) as to us may appear expedient. I am thus, with great reluctance, compelled to repudiate the act of sale, entirely through the tardiness of the General Government, in coming to a final arrangement with me, in reference to my life interest over the Gisborne Town Block.
