After the charges made upon the Land Fund by the Act of Parliament
15 and 16 Vict., cap. 72, have been defrayed in the manner prescribed by law, the remaining portion of the Land Fund will, until the General Assembly or the Provincial Legislatures may otherwise direct, be devoted to Roads and Public Works, or to bringing out to New Zealand the friends and relatives of those persons who may undertake to defray, within twelve months after the arrival in the Colony of the immigrants so brought out, one-half of the cost of their passage to this country, according to the following scale, namely :—
This section now [unclear: obsolute]
| For Adults | £16 | 0 | 0 | per head. |
| Children between 7 and 14 years old | 10 | 10 | 0 | per head. |
| Children between 1 and 7 years of Age | 6 | 0 | 0 | per head. |
In districts where a Land Fund may not have been created by the sale of land, the Government will receive applications from persons desirous of having their relations or friends sent out, and willing to enter into an agreement, guaranteed by some responsible person, for the repayment of the passage money within twelve months after their arrival in the colony.
