   having any estate or interest in or being the occupier
   of any land through which it is proposed to carry
   such water-race; and such notice shall be in the
   form (A) in the Schedule hereto, or to the like effect;
   and copies of such notice shall be posted and main-
   tained for fourteen clear days at the source or sources
   whence it is proposed to obtain water, except in the
   case of the supply of water being intended to be
   obtained by collection from any "drainage area,"
   in which case it shall be sufficient that the notice
   shall be posted upon some conspicuous part of such
   drainage area, and at the proposed termination of
   such water-race; and the intended course thereof
   shall be indicated by pegs not less than two inches
   in diameter, or by large stones, marked ^, and
   placed not more than two hundred yards apart; and
   such notices shall state the mean breadth and depth
   of the proposed water-race, and the quantity of
   water it is proposed to divert, and shall also state
   the time required for the construction and completion
   of such race: And if no valid objection be entered
   against the construction of such water-race within
   fourteen clear days from the delivery of such
   notice, a license in the form of Schedule E to
   these regulations may be granted by the Warden
   to the applicant, subject to the provisions and
   conditions herein contained, for a term of one year,
   with right of renewal; and there shall be payable to
   the Receiver of Gold Revenue in advance in respect
   of such license the sum of two shillings and sixpence,
   and a like fee upon renewal; the first payment to be
   made on the day on which the license shall be granted,
   and every subsequent payment within sixty days
   from the date of the expiry of the license or renewed
   license, as the case may be: Provided always that
   this regulation shall not apply to the construction of
   water-races through, over, or upon private lands.

No license to cut, construct, or use a water-race
through, over, or upon private land shall be issued
except in the manner and subject to the terms and
conditions prescribed by the said Act.
