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 a few places, for Agriculture.
Persons having possession of Land 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.
The small quantity of Arable Land in the Colony is hired by Tenants at Will. Land for building purposes is made available as circumstances require.

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 a few places, for Agriculture.
Tersons having possession of Land 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.
