   license under these regulations.
5. Persons desirous of obtaining a depasturing
   license must first deposit with the Warden of the
   district an application in writing in the form marked
   A. hereunder written.
6. After the receipt of the application the Warden
   shall decide, and notify in writing, which notification
   shall be posted outside the Warden's Court, for
   what number of cattle, and whether for great or
   small, a license will be granted to him; and the
   applicant shall then forthwith pay to the Gold
   Receiver the license fee payable under these regula-
   tions, and the Gold Receiver shall, upon the pro-
   duction of the Warden's written notification, receive
   from the applicant such fee and give him a receipt

   cattle, great and small, as the Warden shall have

quantity and description of stock which each person

shall be posted in the Warden's office, so that it
may be inspected at any time by the public.
