THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1059

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
    remitted 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
    regulations, 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 jurisdiction
    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. All fences, enclosures, tombstones, headstones,
    or other monuments left in a state of decay or broken
    down, may at any time be removed from the cemetery
    by order of the Trustees.

23. Persons purchasing the exclusive right of burial
    in perpetuity in any plot of ground in the cemetery
    may by permission of the Trustees excavate the same
    within one foot of their outside boundaries for the
    purpose of constructing a vault. Before any work is
    commenced towards the construction of any vault,
    the plan and specification of the work connected
    therewith shall be submitted to the Trustees for
    approval, and no work shall be commenced until such
    approval has been obtained.

24. All vaults shall be lined throughout with brick-
    work or concrete, and covered in with arched brick-
    work, concrete, or stone, set in cement. The depth,
    length, and breadth of vaults shall be according to
    agreement with the Trustees. The entrance to the
    vault shall be either by a stone at the top or by an
    iron door. In all cases entrances shall be securely
    fastened, and all work done to the satisfaction of the
    Trustees.

25. Coffins for vaults must be lined with lead or
    other approved metal, to be firmly and securely
    soldered. Coffins may be laid in vaults and covered
    in with concrete or cement, so as to prevent the escape
    of any noxious vapour.

26. All labour, materials, and tools required for
    constructing vaults, or for excavating for vaults,
    must be provided by the parties applying for the
    same.

27. All labour, materials, and tools required for
    reopening vaults for interments, and for reclosing the
    same, must be provided by the party owning the
    vault, and must be approved by the Trustees.

28. All vaults must be kept in proper order and
    repair by the surviving owner. If at any time they
    become out of proper order and repair, the Trustees
    may give the owner fourteen days' notice to repair
    the same, by leaving such notice at the last known
    place of abode of the owner or his agent. If the
    address of the owner or his agent is not known, or if
    the owner fails to do or cause to be done the required
    repairs within the fourteen days above mentioned,
    the Trustees may at any time cause all such necessary
    repairs to be done, and no interment shall thereafter
    be allowed in such vault until all costs and charges
    of such repairs have been paid to the Trustees,
    together with interest at the rate of 10 per centum
    per annum.

29. All earth and rubbish thrown out when exca-
    vating for vaults must be removed by the person who
    applies for permission to construct such vault. If
    not at once removed when required by the Trustees,
    they may cause the said earth and rubbish to be
    removed, and the costs and charges of so doing may
    be recovered from the person applying for permission
    to construct such vault.

30. No interment shall be permitted in any vault
    until the party requiring to open such vault for
    interment has obtained a burial-warrant, as provided
    for ordinary burials, which warrant shall be sufi-
    cient authority for the vault named therein to be
    opened.

31. All charges made for any matter or thing
    relating to the cemetery shall be paid in advance.

32. No body shall be disinterred or removed from
    the cemetery, except by order of a Coroner, without
    express permission in writing from the Trustees.
