THE following rules and regulations made under the

1877," have been adopted by the Trustees of the
Kowai Pass Cemetery, this 18th day of September,
1879:-

1. The Kowai Pass Cemetery shall be divided into
   burial plots, as follows, viz.: First, into portions of
   the said cemetery in which the exclusive right of
   burial in perpetuity may be acquired in plots of
   ground 9 feet by 6 feet superficial measurement,
   marked out for that purpose, and approved by the
   Trustees. These lots shall be sold by the Trustees to
   persons applying for the same at £1 10s. per plot.

2. Permission will be given by the Trustees to the
   purchasers of the exclusive right of burial to fence in
   the plots allotted to them, and erect tombstones,
   headstones, or other monuments thereon: Provided
   that before any such fence, tombstone, headstone, or
   other monument be erected, a plan thereof and a
   copy of the epitaph or inscription be submitted to the
   Trustees and be duly approved by them.

3. No tree or shrub shall be allowed to be planted
   in any portion of the cemetery, except by the express
   permission of the Trustees; and any tall-growing
   tree or shrub may at any time be trimmed, removed,
   or cut down by order of the Trustees.

4. Grants of exclusive right of burial in perpetuity
   shall be made out in the form marked A annexed to
   these regulations, on payment of a fee of 1s.

5. Any purchaser of exclusive right of burial in
   any plot of ground in which no interment shall have
   taken place may transfer his or her interest in the
   said ground to any other person with the sanction of
   the Trustees; and in the event of such transfer a
   fee of 5s. shall be paid to the Trustees.

6. If a grant of exclusive right of burial should be
   lost or accidentally destroyed, a duplicate can be
   obtained on application to the Trustees, and on pay-
   ment of a fee of 5s.; and any person applying for
   such duplicate must give satisfactory evidence of the
   loss of the original grant, and of their authority to
   apply for a duplicate grant. Should the original grant
   be found at any time after the issue of the duplicate,
   the duplicate must be at once returned to the
   Trustees.

7. If at any time a transfer or duplicate of grants
   of exclusive right of burial shall be required, the
   parties applying for the same shall, at their own cost,
   provide all necessary duty stamps.

8. The second division of the cemetery shall com-
   prise a portion of ground set apart for the interment
   of such persons as are not purchasers of and have not
   acquired the exclusive right of burial in any part of
   the cemetery. No grave of this description shall,
   under any circumstances, be opened for any new
   interment sooner than after the expiry of five years
   from the time of the first or last interment. No
   fencing or other obstruction rising more than one
   foot above the surface shall be allowed. Surviving
   relatives or friends of those interred in such plots
   may purchase exclusive right of burial in perpetuity
   in such plots under clause 4.
