21. TRANSFER.

Certificates or leases, will not be transferable without the special sanction and authority of the Superintendent; and for every such transfer, when sanctioned, a fee of one pound (£1) will be charged; and no such transfer will be sanctioned in any case, unless and until the conditions with respect to improvements, shall have been duly complied with by the holder of the certificate, or the lessee, as the case may be, and until all rent due shall have been paid.

22. LAND MAY BE TAKEN FOR ROADS.

The right to survey through any land, held under certificate, or lease, such roads as may be deemed essential for public convenience, will be reserved; and also the right to throw them open to public traffic, subject to the allowance of valuation for the improvements and for any growing crops which may be in or upon such line of road at the period when possession thereof is taken by the Superintendent.

23. CONSTRUCTION OF WATER RACES.

The right to permit the construction of water-races through land held under certificate or lease, and to grant free entry to such land for the purpose of cleansing or repairing such water-races will also be reserved; with or without compensation to the holders thereof; and upon such terms and conditions as the Superintendent may from time to time appoint and determine.

24. AREA TO BE WITHDRAWN TO BE DEDUCTED.

When any land held under certificate or lease shall have been withdrawn for any of the before mentioned purposes, the area so withdrawn shall be deducted from the acreage originally granted, and the rent thereafter payable under the lease shall be reduced in the same proportion as the deduction bears to the entire acreage.

25. CONDITIONS OF ENTRY TO SEARCH FOR GOLD.

The right of free entry is reserved to the Superintendent upon any land so leased as aforesaid, for the purpose of searching for gold or any other metal or mineral; and of determining any lease when such gold, metals, or minerals shall have been discovered therein; and further, when any ground held under an agricultural lease is supposed to be auriferous, it shall be lawful for the Superintendent to authorise any person to prospect the said ground, upon giving sufficient security for compensation for any actual damage that may be caused thereby; and when any agricultural lease shall be determined on account of the auriferous character of the ground, the compensation to which the lessee is by law entitled shall be paid by the persons desirous of mining thereon, in such manner and proportion as the Superintendent shall determine; and there is also reserved the right of granting permission to prospect without compensation upon any unimproved land subject to such regulations as the Superintendent shall from time to time appoint in this behalf.
