✨ Crown Lands Regulations
Licensed occupants of Crown Land may cut
such timber on the land as may be requisite for domestic purposes.
The Commissioner of Crown Lands may impound all cattle trespassing upon Crown Land, except in case of defined runs, where such power is limited to trespasses made in defiance of his adjudication.
In legal proceedings initiated for breaches of the Crown Lands Ordinance, the proof of the occupation or use of the Crown Land in question being authorized by that Ordinance, and the disproof of the averment of the Commissioner of Crown Lands that such land belongs to the Crown, lie on the defendant.
ASSESSMENT ON STOCK DEPASTURED UPON CROWN LANDS.
Every person depasturing Cattle upon Crown Land shall deposit with the Commissioner of Crown Lands, in the month of September in each year, a return of all such Cattle in his possession on the first day of that month, under a penalty of not less than forty shillings nor more than twenty pounds.
For any false statements knowingly made in such returns, the penalty is not less than fifty pounds nor more than one hundred pounds.
The assessment leviable upon Cattle depastured as above, is as follows:—
For every head of Great Cattle... Six Pence.
For every head of Small Cattle... One Penny.
This assessment is to be paid into the Treasury on or before the first day of December in each year.
The persons liable for such payment will be served with notices of the amount on or before the first day of November in each year.
Appeals against any apparent overcharge in such assessment may be made to the nearest Resident Magistrate, or to any two Justices of the Peace.
Persons so appealing must give the Commissioner a written notice of such appeal and of the grounds of it, within ten days after the service of the assessment notice upon them, and must enter into recognizances before him in double the amount of assessment, to try the appeal and abide the issue.
In the event of failure to pay the assessment, the amount due, together with interest at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum is recoverable by distress.
In case of non-payment, three months after it may be due, the License may be cancelled.
Great Cattle mean horned Cattle, horses, mules, and asses, male and female, with their offspring above six months of age; and Small Cattle, sheep, goats, and swine, male and female, with their weaned offspring.
