aforesaid to the owner of the land on which such
claim is situated.

63. In the foregoing Regulations words in the
    singular number shall be understood to import the
    plural number, and the word "owner" shall be under-
    stood to include "occupier," and where the owner
    and occupier are not the same person, then a
    separate contract shall be made or award given in
    the case of each of them. The word "Warden"
    shall be understood to mean the Warden or other
    officer for the time being intrusted with the adminis-
    tration of justice on the Gold Field within which the
    land is, and the words "Mining Surveyor" shall be
    understood to mean Mining Surveyor or other officer
    whose duty it may be to furnish plans to the
    Warden.

64. All the regulations in force for the time being
    relating to mining on Crown Lands, shall apply to
    mining on private property under these Regulations,
    excepting so far as they are affected by these
    Regulations.

XIII.—Pasturage.

65. 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.

66. Any person applying for a pasturage license
    shall state to the Commissioners what are the boun-
    daries and extent of the run applied for.

67. 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 above 500 acres and under
    1,500 acres in extent, fourpence per acre when above
    1,500 and under 3,000 acres in extent, and three-
    pence per acre for all blocks above 3,000 acres in
    extent.

68. 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 depasture
    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.

69. 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 indorse-
    ment 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.

70. 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.

71. 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.

72. 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 per-
    sons, during the term of the license, to saw, split, or
    remove the timber so cut ; and such license shall not
    be transferable.

73. A license to cut timber shall extend only to
    the district named therein.

74. If any person duly licensed shall have estab-
    lished 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 occu-
    pying 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.

75. If any person shall, for the purpose of remov-
    ing 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.

76. 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 or negligently
    injured or destroyed by fire or otherwise any timber
    belonging to the Crown, such license shall be and
    shall be immediately declared to be forfeited, and it
    shall be at the discretion of the Board to refuse to
    issue another timber license to the same person.
