Leroy-Beaulieu regarded them as in some way consequences of the method adopted in the settlement of the colony, which it is nevertheless evident that he does not. The practical results of the system spoke suffi- ciently for themselves. It had the fullest and fairest trial in Canterbury and Otago. 'Out of 11, 915, 303 acres, ' says Mr Rusden, * sold from the foundation of the colony till 3ist of October 1876 for 8, 101, 859, the enormous proportion of 5, 395, 000 had been received by Canterbury ...and Otago for less than 4, 500, 000 acres. For about the same land as that sold by Auckland, Canterbury had received thirteen times as much money. ' It would appear, then, that land was thirteen times as dear in Canterbury as in Auckland, and that nevertheless Canterbury sold as much land as Auck- land, and had thirteen times as much revenue from this source to devote to immigration and public improvements. In Victoria, by 1858, three millions of acres had been sold for 4, 800, 000, which, under 1 Labour soon became scarce in most of the New Zealand Company's settlements.
