The terms are unusually liberal, viz., 10s. cash per acre ; the balance in equal half-yearly payments extending over five years, bearing interest at £S per cent, per annum. It will be seen that this sale affords a rare opportunity of securing excellent farms which, before they are paid for, will, in all probability, be worth many times their cost. Purchasers will have the benefit of deferred payments without the risk of forfeiture under the stringent regulations as to limited area, residence, and improvement, enforced under the Government system.

The Auctioneers earnestly recommend intending buyers to secure a map of this land, and place themselves in communication with Mr. M'intosli, or Mr. Hay, so that arrangements may be made for its inspection ; and, to prevent disappointments, it would be well to make arrangements at least one week before the proposed day of inspection.
