He shall keep the books of the Trust, receiving from
the Manager every Monday morning a transcript of
the transactions as recorded in the Manager's day-
book of the previous week, and post the items of
water sold, channel rates due, and cash payments
made to the account of the various customers. He
shall, as soon after the first day of each month as
possible, or at any other time when requested by the
Manager, make out all outstanding accounts owing
to the Trust and hand them to the Manager. He
shall pay all moneys received into the Trust Account
as soon after receipt as possible, and shall make out
the monthly pay-sheets, and pay such accounts as are
passed by the Trust. He shall also attend all
general and committee meetings of the Trust, take
minutes, give such information as may be required,
and conduct such correspondence as the Chairman
may direct.

5. No person shall take water from the race, or
   any reservoir or branch race in connection therewith,
   or run water or tailings into the sludge-channel, or
   in any way interfere with any of them, without the
   consent of the Manager or waterman.

6. Water from the race shall be sold by measure,
   the unit of measurement for the purposes of these
   regulations being taken to be what is known as the
   "Hogburn-head," that is to say, a stream of water
   flowing for eight hours through an aperture 16 inches
   wide by 1 inch high in one end of the gauge-box,
   6 feet long and 5 inches deep interior measurement,
   with a pressure or "head" board of 4 inches in width
   above the discharge aperture; the box to be open at
   the top, and fixed level. For the purpose of measur-
   ing more than one "Hogburn-head" the box may be
   enlarged horizontally, or the sides may be raised and
   the aperture enlarged perpendicularly.

7. The rate at which water shall be sold for
   mining purposes shall be twenty shillings the "Hog-
   burn-head" per week of six working days of eight
   hours each.

8. The charge for running water and tailings into
   the sludge-channel shall be one shilling and sixpence
   per "Hogburn-head" per full week of seven days,
   payable in advance.

9. Any person desiring to obtain a supply of water
   from the race for mining purposes shall apply to the
   waterman, stating the quantity of water required and
   where to be used, and where and when required to
   be supplied.

10. In allotting water to applicants, the Manager
    shall give a preference to the earlier applicants; but,
    in case the amount of water applied for shall at any
    time exceed the quantity available for sale and de-
    livery, it shall be lawful for the Manager to allot to
    applicants less quantities of water than they shall
    have applied for, provided that in no case shall the
    Manager reduce the quantity for any one person or
    party to less than five "Hogburn-heads" without
    his or their consent.

11. Whenever the supply of water in the race
    shall be less than sufficient to supply to all consumers
    the full quantities of water to which they are entitled,
    it shall be lawful for the Manager to arrange the
    supplies in such manner as he may deem convenient

12. The waterman shall furnish the Manager every
    Monday morning with a detailed account of the
    water sold during the previous week. The Manager
    shall keep an account for each customer, and shall
    use his own discretion in demanding cash payment in
    advance, or giving such credit as the circumstances
    of the customers and the method in which they are
    carrying on work require, taking such security for
    payment as he may deem advisable.

13. The waterman shall turn on the water from the
    race for the supply of purchasers and turn off the
    same, and no person shall turn on water, or turn it
    off, or in any way interfere with the water, except by
    authority of the Manager or waterman.

14. Any person desiring to cut a tail-race to run
    into or connect with the sludge-channel shall apply
    in writing to the Manager, stating where the pro-
    posed tail-race will connect with the channel, its in-
    tended dimensions and "fall;" and if on inquiry the
    Manager shall be of opinion that such race may be
    safely allowed to be connected with the channel, he
    shall certify accordingly to the Warden.

15. No certificate for any tail-race to be connected
    with or run into the sludge-channel shall be granted
    by the Warden, unless it shall be certified to him by
    the Manager as aforesaid that such tail-race may be
    safely so constructed.

16. The Manager shall not, without the special
    sanction of the Trust, certify for the construction of
    any tail-race to be connected with and run into the
    channel of a greater incline than 5 inches in 12 feet
    for a distance back from the point of junction of 2
    chains.

17. The Manager shall not, without the special
    sanction of the Trust, certify for the construction of
    any tail-race to be made to connect with the sludge-
    channel upon the eastern side, unless the same be
    tunnelled in the solid earth for a length of at least
    33 feet from the bank of the sludge-channel, or be
    boxed for the same length and the earth filled in to
    the surface, and every such tail-race shall be fitted
    with a sufficient gate, which shall, if required by the
    Manager, be kept closed during floods. Provided
    always that this regulation shall not apply to the
    extension of the channel known as Brooke's Race.

18. No tail-race or head-race or flood-channel shall
    be made nearer to the sludge-channel than 66 feet
    on its eastern side and 33 feet on its western side,
    except by consent of the Manager.

19. When any tail-race shall have been made under
    the authority of these regulations to be connected
    with and run into the channel, it shall be lawful for
    the owner or occupier of such tail-race to run water
    and tailings through it into the channel subject to
    these regulations.

20. The Managers shall assess in "Hogburn-heads"
    the carrying capacity and average discharge of any
    tail-race that shall be connected with and run into
    the sludge-channel, and the owner or occupier shall
    pay weekly in advance the fees for the said number
    of "Hogburn-heads" run into the sludge-channel
    (or shall pay in advance or otherwise as provided in
    respect to payments for water the fees for the said
    number of "Hogburn-heads" run into the sludge-
    channel).

21. In case the owner or occupier of any tail-race
    shall be dissatisfied with the Manager's assessment of
    average discharge as aforesaid, he may appeal to the
    Warden, who shall thereupon confirm or vary such
    assessment, and the decision of the Warden shall be
    final.

22. The owner or occupier of any tail-race dis-
    charging water and tailings into the sludge-channel
    shall at any time cease to so discharge water and tail-
    ings when required so to do by the Manager or
    waterman, either verbally or in writing.

23. In case any person who shall have paid in ad-
    vance for a supply of water or for the privilege of
    discharging water and tailings into the sludge-
    channel shall cease to require such water or privi-
    lege, it shall be lawful for him to obtain a refund of
    the unappropriated balance of the money so paid by
    him, and such refund shall be payable out of the
    funds at the disposal of the Trust upon a voucher
    certified by the Manager.

24. In order to encourage the development of new
    ground along the line of the head-race water may
