1901. NEW ZEALAND.

LAND FOR SETTLEMENTS: ESTATES PURCHASED BETWEEN 1st APRIL, 1900, AND 31st MARCH, 1901.

Laid on the Table of the House of Representatives by the Bt. Hon. B. J. Seddon, by Leave. ■

Estates purchased between 1st April, 1900, and 31st March, 1901.

In a former statement " North Bank Estate, 12,800 acres, cost £6,750," was included in error, the date of agreement to purchase being 14th March, 1900, and date of completion 31st March, 1901. This accounts for the discrepancy from the former totals—viz., 82,974 acres and £356,850. Of the above sums, £87,442 was paid in April, 1901; Mangatoro and Mrs. Delargy not paid yet. James McKebeow.
