stones, headstones, or other monuments thereon:
Provided always that, before any such fence, tomb-
stone, headstone, or other monument be erected, a
plan thereof and a copy of every epitaph or other
inscription be submitted to the Trustees and be duly
approved by them.

3. No person shall be allowed to plant, in any por-
   tion of the cemetery, or on ground on which the ex-
   clusive right of burial has been thus acquired, except
   by express permission in writing from the Trustees,
   any tall-growing shrub or tree; or any shrub or tree
   planted in any portion of the cemetery, or on ground
   acquired for the exclusive right of burial as aforesaid,
   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., and
   shall only be made out in the name of one particular
   person, to be named therein.

5. Any purchaser of exclusive right of burial in
   perpetuity in any particular plot of ground in the
   said cemetery, in which no interment shall have taken
   place, may, by permission of the Trustees, transfer
   his or her interest in the said plot of ground to any
   other person, upon payment being made to the
   Trustees of a transfer fee of 5s. for every such
   transfer, and on production to the Trustees of the
   original grant.

6. On the death of any person holding a grant of
   exclusive right of burial in perpetuity, the grant may
   be transferred to any other person applying to the
   Trustees for such transfer, on payment of a fee of
   1s., on production of the original grant, and on their
   providing sufficient and satisfactory evidence of their
   authority to apply for the said transfer.

7. If at any time a grant of exclusive right of burial
   should be lost or accidentally destroyed, a duplicate
   grant can be obtained on application in writing made
   to the Trustees, and on payment of a fee of 5s. Per-
   sons applying for a duplicate grant must give satisfac-
   tory written evidence of the loss or destruction of
   the original grant, and of their authority to apply
   for a duplicate grant. Should the original grant
   be at any time found after the issue of a duplicate,
   the duplicate must be at once returned to the
   Trustees.

8. Parties applying for grants of exclusive right of
   burial, or for transfer or duplicate of the same, must
   at their own cost provide all necessary duty stamps.

9. The second division of the cemetery shall
   comprise plots of land set apart for the inter-
   ment of such persons whose surviving relations or
   friends are unable, in the opinion of the Trustees,
   to purchase the exclusive right of burial in perpetuity
   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 expira-
   tion of at least five years from the date of last
   interment. Surviving relations or friends of those
   interred in such plots of ground may at any time
   purchase exclusive right of burial in perpetuity in
   such plots under clause 4.

10. A sexton will from time to time be appointed
    by the Trustees, whose duty it will be to dig all
    graves required in the cemetery, and no other person
    will be allowed to dig any grave therein, without
    express permission in writing from the Trustees.

11. All graves must be dug at least six feet deep,
    but, in the event of any person requiring a greater
    depth, an extra charge of 2s. will be made for every
    additional foot.

12. The Trustees shall keep, or cause to be kept, a
    book in which shall be entered from time to time the
    number of every plot disposed of for the exclusive
    right of burial, the name of the purchaser, and date of
    disposal. They shall also keep a record of every plot
    of ground used for the purpose of interment, the
    name of the person interred, and date of burial.

13. As soon as possible after any portion of the
    cemetery is laid out for the purposes of interment, a
    complete plan thereof shall be made. The plan shall
    be marked out in plots, and each plot shall be num-
    bered, and such plots shall be marked out by pegs in
    the ground.

14. The record-book and plan of the cemetery,
    when prepared, may be inspected by the public any
    day, Sundays and holidays excepted, by applying to
    the custodian of the said record and plan, on payment
    of a fee of 2s. 6d. The fee for inspection will be re-
    mitted in the case of persons applying for and taking
    out a burial-warrant.

15. In all cases of intended interment the person
    having the management or contract of the same shall
    apply for a burial-warrant to the Trustee, or other
    person appointed to issue the same. The warrant
    shall be in the form marked B annexed to these regu-
    lations, and shall be given to the party applying for
    the same on payment of a fee of not less than 10s.

16. The foregoing charge is in addition to any
    sums that may be paid for grants of exclusive right
    of burial. It does not include payment for any
    work required to be done, beyond the actual digging
    of any ordinary grave, and, after the interment,
    filling in the same. Persons who fence in plots of
    ground must do all levelling required at their own
    cost, and only on approval of the Trustees, and must
    at once remove from the cemetery all rubbish and
    earth not required. If not removed when required
    by the Trustees, they may cause the said rubbish and
    earth to be removed, and, if necessary, recover the
    costs and charges for the same in a summary manner
    in any Resident Magistrate's Court having juris-
    diction in the district, or before any two or more
    Justices of the Peace.

17. The burial-warrant, when signed, shall be given
    by the party having the management of the funeral
    to the sexton, and shall be sufficient authority for the
    interment.

18. Burial-warrants must be given to the sexton at
    least six working hours prior to the time fixed for the
    funeral, otherwise an extra fee of 5s. must be paid.
    No free interment will be allowed without the above
    notice of six hours.

19. Until otherwise ordered, funerals will only be
    allowed between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

20. The following particulars must be given at the
    time of application for a burial-warrant, viz.: Name
    of deceased, officiating minister, number of plot in
    cemetery, denomination, class of burial, required size
    and depth of grave, age of deceased.

21. The costs and charges of burial of any person
    in the cemetery may in certain cases be remitted, on
    proof being given to the satisfaction of the Trustees
    that there are no funds available for payment of such
    fees, and that no person is to be found who is liable
    for the payment of the same.

22. The Trustees shall have power to appoint one
    or more of their number to receive all fees, keep all
    books and accounts, generally to superintend the
    laying out and improvement of the cemetery, and to
    sanction and authorize the erection of any fence,
    tombstone, headstone, or other monument, to issue
    burial-warrants, grants of exclusive right of burial in
    perpetuity, and transfers or duplicates of the same,
    and to superintend and authorize the construction of
    vaults according to these regulations.

23. All fences, enclosures, tombstones, headstones,
