45. Every section of rural land if bounded by a
frontage line shall be of a depth of half a mile
from such frontage.
46. In sections of rural land not adjacent to or
bounded by a frontage line, all the sides may be
equal; but one side may not be less than one-
third of the other, and such section shall not be
less than half a mile distant from a frontage line.
47. Save as herein provided, no section of first
class rural land shall be sold containing less than
thirty acres, and no section of second class rural
land shall be sold containing less than fifty acres;
but any section so limited by frontage lines or
private lands as to contain less than thirty acres
or fifty acres respectively may be sold by auction
at the upset price of forty shillings per acre, or
twenty shillings per acre, as the case may be; the
time and place of sale and the mode of sale and
payment of purchase money to be as nearly as

contained applicable to the sale of town land.
48. Immediately on the payment of the purchase
money for any rural land, the purchaser shall
receive from the Commissioners a License to
Occupy in the form set forth in the Schedule C.
hereunto annexed; and as soon thereafter as con-
veniently may be, the land shall be laid off by a
Government Surveyor as nearly in accordance
with the description given by the purchaser in his
application as these regulations will admit: Pro-
vided always that should any section when sur-
veyed prove to differ in any respect from that
intended by the purchaser, the Government will
not be responsible for any loss or inconvenience
which the purchaser may experience, nor will the
purchase money be returned: Provided also that
if the Surveyor shall find that the whole extent of
land in the selected locality falls short of the
quantity paid for by the purchaser, the Receiver
of Land Revenue shall repay so much of the pur-
chase money as exceeds the price of the land to
be conveyed. The License to Occupy shall, in
any case, be amended by the Commissioners in
accordance with the report of the Surveyor, and
the Crown Grant shall be made out in accordance
therewith; and the license shall be delivered up
when the Crown Grant shall be issued.

X.-Pasturage.

49. All Waste Lands not declared open for sale,
    and not required as commonage for stock, may
    be occupied for pasturage purposes by persons
    holding annual licenses from the Waste Lands
    Board to occupy the same, in blocks of not less
    than 500 acres.
50. Any person applying for a pasturage
    license shall state to the Commissioners what
    are the boundaries and extent of the run applied
    for.
51. The fee to be paid for the license shall be
    at the rate of sixpence per acre per annum for the
    lands included in such license, and shall be paid
    to the Receiver of Land Revenue in advance on
    the issue of the license.
52. If upon the expiration of any annual pas-
    turage license it shall appear to the Waste Lands
    Board expedient to issue a further license to de-
    pasture the land included in such first-mentioned
    license the Board shall grant such further annual
    license to the holder of the license so expired upon
    payment of the rent provided in these regulations.
53. Every annual pasturage license shall be in
    the form set forth in the Schedule D. to the Waste
    Lands Regulations, and shall be transferable by
    endorsement in the form set forth in such
    Schedule, and such transfer shall be deemed to be
    complete upon notice thereof being duly given to
    the Waste Lands Board, and not before. A
    pasturage license shall entitle the holder thereof
    to the exclusive right of pasturage over the land
    specified therein upon the terms herein stated.
    Such license shall give no right to the soil or to
    the timber, and shall immediately determine over
    any land which may be reserved or declared open
    for sale under these regulations. A reasonable
    right of way shall be allowed through all pasturage
    runs, as well as free right of entry to miners for
    the purpose of mining or searching for gold.

XI. Timber.

54. Upon the application of any person desirous
    of cutting and removing timber from Waste Lands
    of the Crown it shall be lawful for the Waste
    Lands Board to issue a license authorizing him to
    do so.
55. Every timber-cutting license for cutting or
    removing timber shall be issued for one month, or
    for one year, at the request of the person applying
    for the same; and a fee of ten shillings shall
    be paid upon every monthly license, and of five
    pounds upon every yearly license.
56. A license shall entitle no one but the
    person named thereon to cut down the standing
    timber, but it will authorize him to employ any
    number of persons, during the term of the license,
    to saw, split, or remove the timber so cut; and
    such license shall not be transferable.
57. A license to cut timber shall extend only
    to the district named therein.
58. If any person duly licensed shall have
    established a sawpit for the purpose of sawing
    timber, no other person shall cut timber within
    fifty yards of such pit without consent of the
    person first occupying such sawpit: Provided
    that if the person establishing such pit shall not
    use the same, and shall not cut timber within
    such distance as aforesaid from the pit for twenty-
    eight consecutive days, it shall be lawful to any
    other holder of a license to enter thereupon, and
    to cut timber as though such pit had not been
    established.
59. If any person shall, for the purpose of
    removing timber, have made a road upon land
    being the Waste Lands of the Crown and not
    being a highway, it shall not be lawful for any
    other person to use the same without the permission
    of the person making the same first obtained:
    Provided that if such road shall not be used at
    any time for ninety consecutive days, it shall be
    lawful for any holder of a license at any time
    thereafter to use the same.
60. If any person holding a timber license
    shall be proved before the Waste Lands Board to
    have offended against any regulations herein
    contained respecting timber, or to have wilfully
