Additional Regulations under "The Salmon and Trout
Act, 1867."

NORMANBY, Governor.

WHEREAS under the authority of "The Salmon
and Trout Act, 1867" (hereinafter termed
"the said Act"), certain regulations were made for
the purposes of the said Act, and published in the
New Zealand Gazette of the thirteenth day of Sep-
tember, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
seven, and such regulations are now in force:

And whereas by the said Act it is, among other
things, enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor, from time to time as may become neces-
sary, to make such regulations as to the Governor
seems expedient, for imposing or prescribing any
conditions and restrictions in respect to salmon or
trout fishing: And whereas, for the purpose of
protecting salmon and trout, it is expedient that
additional regulations should be made as hereinafter
provided:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
hereinbefore recited power and authority, and of
every other power and authority enabling me in that
behalf under the said Act, do hereby make the fol-
lowing regulations, that is to say,-

1. If any person shall by any means take or catch
   any salmon or trout in any stream, river, or tidal
   water, he shall forthwith return such salmon or trout
   alive to the stream, river, or tidal water in or from
   which the same was caught or taken. Any person
   knowingly and wilfully committing a breach of this
   regulation shall be liable to forfeit and pay such sum
   of money, by way of penalty, not exceeding one
   hundred pounds, as the Justices imposing such
   penalty shall think fit.

The expression "tidal waters" has the like mean-
ing as given to such expression in certain
regulations made under "The Fish Protection
Act, 1877," and published in the New Zealand
Gazette of the eleventh of April, one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-eight.

2. No person holding a license issued under the
   said last-mentioned regulations shall be deemed
   exempt from these or any other regulations in force
   under "The Salmon and Trout Act, 1867."

3. These regulations shall be read as part of any
   existing regulations for the time being in force under
   the said Act, and, whenever any penalty shall be pre-
   scribed under any regulations in force under the said
   Act as aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the Justices
