Non-execution of lease.
12. If any applicant fails or neglects to execute
his lease within one (1) month after service of notice
from the Warden that such lease is ready for execu-
tion, the Superintendent will (unless special cause
for delay is shown to him) proceed to cancel such
lease, and a fee of £1, in addition to the charges
hereinbefore mentioned, shall thereupon be deducted
from the deposit.

Cancellation of leases.
13. Leases will be forfeited and may be cancelled
if the land is sublet or transferred without the sanc-
tion and authority of His Honor the Superintendent;
or, if planting, cultivation, or other permanent im-
provement is not commenced within three months
after the issue of a certificate or lease; or if one-third
in acreage of the land is not planted, cultivated, or
otherwise improved within twelve months from the
date of any such certificate or lease; or if at any time
during the currency of the lease the land shall be
neglected for a period of six months.

Transfer.
14. Agricultural Leases will not be transferable
without the special sanction and authority of His
Honor the Superintendent, and for every such
transfer a fee or fine 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 improvement shall have been duly complied with
by the original applicant, and all rents due shall have
been fully paid.

Rent.
15. The rent charged shall be at the rate of two
shillings and sixpence (2s. 6d.) per acre, payable
half-yearly in advance from the date of the certificate
or lease as the case may be, and every fractional part
of an acre will be considered as an acre and charged
for accordingly.

Survey Fees.
16. The fees charged for survey shall be as follows:
For an ordinary survey, when the area does not
exceed twenty (20) acres, one pound (£1).
For any larger area, at the rate of one shilling
per acre, or any portion of an acre.

Land may be taken for roads.
17. The Superintendent reserves the right to
survey through any land held under an agricultural
lease, such roads as may be deemed essential for
public convenience, and to throw them open to public
traffic, subject to the allowance of valuation for
improvements, and for any standing and growing
crops which may be in or upon such line of road only
at the period when possession thereof is taken by the
Government.

Conditions of entry to search for gold, &c.
18. The Superintendent reserves the right of free
entry to any land so leased as aforesaid for the
purpose of searching for gold, or for any other metal
or mineral, and of determining any lease when such
gold, metals, or minerals, shall have been discovered
therein; and also, of granting permission to prospect,
without compensation, upon any unimproved land,
subject to such regulations as he, the said Superin-
tendent may hereafter think fit to make, upon any
applications for such permission being made to him.

Compensation how to be paid when lease determines.
19. In the event of the determination of any
Agricultural Lease, on account of the discovery of
gold, or of any other metal or mineral, in the land
thereby demised, the amount of compensation
adjudged to be paid to the holder thereof shall
(except in special cases), be contributed by the
persons desirous of mining thereon, subject to such
terms and conditions as the Superintendent may
hereafter deem expedient; but no compensation will
be granted or adjudged for land which has not been
planted, cultivated, or otherwise improved.
