   and exclusive right may be acquired, with the privi-
   lege of enclosing the ground, and erecting headstones
   or other monuments thereon. A portion of ground
   of this class shall be staked off into lots of 10 feet

   also subject to the above privileges, 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
Managers, provided that all fences be kept within
the pegs, and that any fence of wood shall not exceed
4 feet in height.

5. Class D will comprise a portion of ground set
   aside for the interment of such persons as are not

On ground of this class no fencing or other
obstruction rising more than 1 foot above the

any circumstances be opened for any new interment
sooner than after the expiry of five years from the

a fee of 10s., and the friends or relatives of the
deceased may acquire the right to the grave with
the consent of the Managers, and by paying the
stipulated price for the ground.

6. Class E will comprise a portion of ground set
   aside for the interment of paupers.

    the Cemetery.

11. The Clerk to the Cemetery for the time being
    shall receive the purchase money for the sale of such
