AN IMMIGRANT'S EXPERIENCE. Sir,—Referring to the letter in last Saturday's issue on the Land Bill, and signed Liberal." would you be good enough to put me in cornmuication with the writer, as I should like to hold a conversation with him. I am one of a party of eight who came out three months back to take up land. We have been farming in the Old Country, but. having seen the glaring accounts and advertisements in London papers, offering assisted passages to suitable people with slender means to come out and take up land, we interviewed the Commissioner in London, who conveyed to us the impression that there were: thousands of acres to be had practically for the asking. What do we find in, the Auckland district? Any decent land that has a clay track, or hardly a track at all, to it ranges in price from £10 to £50 per acre, and the unimproved land really not worth a gift, unless a man has a small fortune, and can isolate himself away from all the world and tho markets.
