TERMS: In order still further to meet the requirements of all classes, the proprietor has determined to offer the most liberal terms, viz.: — One-sixth cash on fall of hammer ;; onesixth in three months from date of '• sale ; one-sixth in twelve, months ; one-sixth in eighteen months ; onesixth in twenty-four months ; onesixth in thirty months ; and onesixth in thirty-six months ; each instalment bearing interest at the very moderate rate of seven per cent, per annum. Each section will be submitted as a separate lot, in the order in which they are placed on the Government map, and no section will be withdrawn.
