as adopted at a meeting of the Cemetery Com-
mittee on the 2nd April, 1877, and passed on the 9th
April, 1877:-

1. A portion of the Cemetery Reserve shall be
   divided into three classes, viz.:---
2. Class A, being ground of which the perpetual
   and exclusive right may be acquired, with the privilege
   of enclosing the ground, and of erecting head stones
   or other monuments thereon. A portion of ground
   of this class shall be staked off into lots of 8 feet by
   10 feet. These lots shall be sold for £3 each.
3. Class B.—These lots shall be 8 feet by 4 feet,
   and shall be sold for £1 10s. each.
   Permission shall be given to fence the lots in either
   of these classes, subject to the approval of the Com-
   mittee, provided that all fences be kept within the
   pegs, and that any fence made of wood shall not
   exceed four feet in height.
4. Class C will comprise a portion of ground set
   aside for the interment of such persons as are not
   purchasers of and have not acquired a right to private
   ground.
   On ground of this class no fencing or other ob-
   struction rising more than one foot above the surface
   shall be allowed; and no grave shall, under any cir-
   cumstances, be opened for any new interment sooner
   than after the expiry of five years from the time of
   the first or last interment, as the case may be.
   Flat tombstones will be allowed on payment of a
   fee of 10s., and the friends or relatives of the de-
   ceased may acquire the right to the grave, with the
   consent of the Managers, and by paying the stipulated
   price for the ground.
5. All graves must be six feet deep, but in the
   event of purchasers of private ground desiring a
   greater depth, an extra charge of two shillings shall
   be made for every foot more than six feet deep.
6. The Clerk shall provide all necessary furniture
   and attendance for properly conducting interments.
7. Any purchasers of private ground in which no
   interment shall have taken place, may transfer his or
   her interest in said ground to any other person, upon
   payment being made to the Clerk of the Cemetery
   for the time being of a fee of two shillings for such
   transfer.
8. A plan of the Cemetery shall be prepared, show-
   ing particularly the lots so laid off, together with the
   numbers thereof.
9. The Clerk to the Cemetery for the time being
   shall keep a book, in which he shall enter, from time
   to time, the number of every lot sold, the name of
   the purchaser thereof, together with the date of sale
   of the same ; and shall keep a record of the burials in
   the Cemetery.
10. The Clerk to the Cemetery for the time being
    shall receive the purchase money for the sale of such
    lots, and shall give a receipt for the same, which

    chase and selection of the lots mentioned therein.

    having the management or control of the same shall
