plying for the same; and a fee of 10s. shall
be paid upon every monthly licence, and of
£5 upon every yearly licence.

41. A licence shall entitle no one but the
    person named therein to cut down standing
    timber, but it will authorise him to employ
    any number of persons to saw, split, or remove the timber so cut; and such licence
    shall not be transferable.

42. A licence to cut timber shall extend
    only to the district named therein.

43. If any person shall have established
    a saw-pit for the purpose of sawing timber,
    it shall not be lawful to any other person
    to cut timber within 20 yards of such pit
    without consent of the person first occupying such saw-pit, provided that if the
    person establishing such pit shall not use
    the same, and shall not cut timber within
    such distance as aforesaid from the pit for
    fourteen consecutive days, it shall be lawful
    to any other holder of a licence to enter
    thereupon, and to cut timber as though such
    pit had not been established.

44. If any person shall for the purpose of
    removing timber, have made a road upon
    land being the Waste Lands of the Crown
    and not being a highway, it shall not be
    lawful for any other person to use the same
    without the permission of the person making
    the same first obtained, provided that if
    such road shall not be used at any time for
    thirty consecutive days, it shall be lawful
    for any holder of a licence at any time
    thereafter to use the same.

Immigration.

45. Every person who shall emigrate to
    the Province of Canterbury, from any part
    of Her Majesty’s dominions, except from
    other parts of the Colony of New Zealand,
    shall be entitled to receive money scrip to
    the amount of half the sum which he shall
    have actually expended in cabin passages
    and the whole sum which he shall have actually expended in intermediate and steerage
    passages, in the immigration of himself and
    his family, and of any person whom he shall
    have brought out with him, at his own bona
    fide cost and expense; and who shall have
    actually landed in the Province. Provided
    that he shall not be entitled to receive scrip to
    the amount of more than eight pounds on account of the passage of any adult, from any of
    the Australian colonies, or to the amount of
    more than twenty pounds, from any place
    at a greater distance; nor, on account of
    the passage of any child between the ages
    of one and fourteen years, to more than
    half the above amounts respectively.

46. All such scrip shall be transferable
    by endorsement, and shall be received for
    the amount therein expressed, in payment
    of any land to be sold under these regulations. All such scrip not presented in pay-
    ment for land within 12 months from the
    date thereof shall be void.

47. All applications for scrip shall be
    made to the Commissioner during the sitting
    of his Court, within 3 months after the arrival in the Colony of the persons on account of whose passage the scrip shall be
    claimed. The Commissioner shall hear and
    receive all such evidence as may enable him
    to determine the amount of scrip to which
    the applicant may be justly entitled under
    these regulations; and the Commissioner
    having determined such amount, shall issue
    scrip accordingly.

The Commissioner’s Court.

48. The Commissioner of Crown Lands
    shall hold an open Court at the principal
    Land Office of the Province at certain stated
    times to be determined by the Superintendent and notified in the Government Gazette.

49. The Commissioner shall hold an open
    Court for special purposes at such other
    places, and at such times as the Superintendent shall direct, of which due notice
    shall be given in the Government Gazette.

50. All applications for Land and for
    Pasturage and for Timber Licences shall be
    made to the Commissioner during the sitting
    of the said Court; and the Commissioner
    shall take down in writing every application;
    and the applicant shall sign the same. And
    the Commissioner having heard all necessary
    evidence respecting every such application
    shall decide thereon.

51. A book to be called "the application
    Book" shall be kept open during office
    hours at the Land office, in which every
    person intending to make any application in
    the Commissioner’s Court, shall write his
    name. And the Commissioner shall during
    the sitting of the Court, call every applicant, and shall hear his application in the
    order in which his name shall appear in the
    application book. Provided that if any
    person shall not appear before the Court
    when called, his application shall be dismissed until he shall have again entered his
    name in the said book, in order. And the
    Commissioner shall enter in the book the
    words "heard" or "dismissed" as the case
    may be, opposite the name of every applicant, together with the date of hearing or
    dismissing the application, and shall sign
    his initials thereto.

52. All payments to be made in respect
    of land shall be made to the Commissioner
    in open Court; and the Commissioner shall
    thereupon give receipts for the same.

53. The Commissioner shall during the
    sitting of the said Court, and at no other
    time whatever, hear and determine all disputes between holders of Pasturage Licences
    respecting the boundaries of runs, and re-
