LAND LAWS. 199 



present work; but we say so much to induce the 

 intendino^ im migrant or others to look into the matter, 

 and not jump to the conclusion, as they naturally might, 

 that South Africa will alwa3^s be in a state of warfare. 



To conclude : let it be borne in mind by all intend- 

 ing to emigrate from England that the colony has now 

 on its hands a large amount of as fine lands as might be 

 wished for. That the only drawback to these is their 

 contiguity to native tribes ; but this contiguity gives a 

 counter-advantage, viz., that of cheap labour. That 

 these lands will be disposed of partially in agricultural 

 blocks, not exceeding 500 acres in extent, and all that 

 like to apply for them will be able to do so under the 

 provisions of Act No. 4 of 1870, or, in the case of 

 "Assisted Immigrants," under the still more favourable 

 conditions, as regards payment, of Act No. 10 of 1877. 



The remainder will be disposed of in blocks of from 

 4,000 to 6,000 acres, under the provisions of Act No. 14 

 of 1878. 



The name ^^ Assisted Immigrant" applies to those who 

 are sent out to the colony at the expense of the Cape 

 government.
