In 1861 Sir John Robertson passed an Act by which any person can select as much as 320 acres of Crown land in any part of the colony at the rate of £1 per acre, only 25 per cent. of which is payable on the spot, provided he subscribes to certain conditions of cultivation and of residence on his 'selection. This Act was subsequently copied in Victoria, and is now being altered there so as to enlarge the area selectable to 640 acres.
