PROCLAMATION.

By his Honor, OSWALD CURTIS, Superintendent,
of the Province of Nelson, in the Islands of New
Zealand, &c., &c., &c.

I, OSWALD CURTIS, Superintendent of the
Province of Nelson, in exercise of the power
and authority in me vested in that behalf, do hereby
Proclaim and Declare that from and after the First day
of April next, the following Regulation shall come into
force on the Nelson South-West Goldfields, and shall
form part of the Rules and Regulations thereof now in
force thereon :—

BEACH CLAIMS.

Beach claims shall mean all claims extending below
highwater mark on the sea beach.

Such claims shall in all cases be deemed to be ex-
tended to the sea, although their boundaries in that
direction be not marked by pegs, and although the area
so held be greater than could be held without this
Regulation, and this Regulation shall not interfere with
any power which the Warden may otherwise have to
grant extended claims of any kind upon the beach.

The Warden shall have power at any time to rectify
the boundaries of beach claims, or to define a base line
to which the side boundaries shall be at right angles as
nearly as circumstances permit.

Beach claims shall not interfere with any traffic along
the beach, nor with the discharge of water, tailings, or
other matters thereon, provided that the Warden shall
have power to prevent, or regulate, the discharge of
such water, tailings, or other matters.

Given under my hand, and issued under the
Public Seal of the Province, at Nelson, this
19th day of March, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
three.
