:
REMARKS ON SQUATTING.
No Squatting in the sense in which it is understood in most other Colonies is adopted here, as the Land is unavailable for pasturage and except in few places for agriculture.
Chinese having possession of Lands or Houses previously to the Treaty were allowed to retain them on payment of certain assessed rentals now collected by the Registrar General, and in cases where such Lands or Houses are not leased, the occupiers are considered as Tenants at will.
