The said John Elliot shall be entitled to surrender the present lease and obtain from the Auckland Land Board a fresh lease of the land, for the same term and subject to the same conditions as the present lease, save that there shall be a right of purchase at the rate of seventy-five cents an acre, and that the rental shall be computed on that basis; and the said Board is hereby empowered and directed to accept such surrender and grant such fresh lease accordingly.
