"VTOTICE is hereby given, that the Pen- -"-^ insnla of Kaikora, with a small, but not yet defined portion of land adjoining it in Halfmoon Bay, will, as soon as possible, (along with some of the lands, the boundaries of which were given in the Notification of the 11th instant,) be surveyed and laid out in Rural Sections of 50 (or more) acres, and in town sites of half an acre each. Good sized coasting vessels are quite safe in the small harbour of Kaikora; and off it, in Half-moon Bay, the. anchorage,is good, except in North-westerly gales. A block of excellent land extending to a dis--tance of five miles inland, and the same distance to the North and South of two yet undefined points in Timaru Bay, (situated between the southern boundary of the Canterbury Block and the Waitangi river,) will also be laid out in a similar manner; the portion of land between the two above undefined points being that intended for town sites, and off which there is good anchorage, except during South-easterly gales, when ships should stand out to sea until they subside. The above Rural Land Sections and Town Sites, will be disposed of under the usual regulations, and Government Scrip will be taken in payment for them. And for the convenience and advantage of persons of moderate means, purchasers of Rural Sections, within these two blocks, (which are not open for sheep or cattle runs,) will have the power of availing themselves of the undisposed-of portions of them, as com-. . monage, under the charge of V^ardens, according to Government regulations. For the present the land around Motunau, to the south of Kaikora, to an as yet undefined but limited extent, is reserved. Lt.-Colonel Campbell intends to proceed in a few days to Akaroa, ; as Commissioner for the adjustment of land claims, &c.; but any comt munications intended for him will be addressed, as usual, to his office at Christchurcb. r" Before, however, he gives up his attention to the duties which will thus, for a time, devolve upon him, he begs to assure all those who are desirous of obtaining sheep and cattle runs, even on the largest scale, and which the vast districts placed, by the Governor-in-Chief, under his charge, will.amply afford, that he fully intends to deal most liberally as to the extents of excellent pasturage, which he is empowered to assign to them. But what can be more liberal than that which the New Zealand Government announces in the established rules and regulations for the issue of pasture licences for the occupation of the waste lands of the Crown, outside hundreds, viz. " No. 6. In estimating the sufficiency of stock for any run applied for, the Commissioner shi;ll not allow for natural increase in any proportions, with respect to amounts of stock on the runs, greater than those set forth in the fol lowing scale:— "For any number of sheep up to, 500 inclusive, run to be granted [-5,000 shp. for any number not exceeding ■* "For every addditional ■» 500 and 1,000 for hundred between -» 500 additional shp. Do. Do. 1,000 & 3,000 for 400 do. Do. Do. 3,000 & 5,000 for 200 do. Do. Do. 5,000 & 10,000 for 100 do. " And in no case shall a run be granted capable of containing more than 25,000 sheep. In estin ating runs for great cattle, one head of such cattle shall be rated as six sheep." JAMES CAMPBELL. October 22nd, 1851, TO LET, A GENTEEL FURNISHED APARTMENT, with attendance.
