Twenty-second day of February instant the Toll of Two
shillings and sixpence for each horse, Two shillings for
each head of Cattle, and Sixpence for each sheep
(one way) on the following conditions :—

  1. That the Track shall at all times be maintained
    in a good state of repair, and no Tolls be re-
    coverable unless the Warden be satisfied that
    this condition has been fully complied with.

  2. That any person using the Track may at any
    time become a part proprietor on payment of
    a proportionate share of the expenditure on
    such Track, the amount so payable to be settled
    by arbitration in the usual way.

  3. That this protection does not interfere with any
    existing rights or privileges, nor prejudice the
    right of the Government to make a grant pro-
    tection to any other track, but no protection
    will be granted for any other track within a
    chain of this one.

  4. That all Government officers, road overseers,
    and laborers, and postmen shall use the track
    when on duty free of charge.

  5. That this protection shall not be transferred
    without the sanction of the Warden.

    the Government at a valuation.
