[No. 114
admissible; they must be shown by right lines. All
measurements must be given in links.
46. All corner or angle pegs, lockspits, or other
marks in a boundary common to the new and to an
old survey, must be noted and shown on the map.
47. The positions of all remarkable hills, ridges,
pas, eel-weirs, Native cultivations, tracks, battle-
fields, villages, &c., within or near the block under
survey, must be fixed by intersections; and the
courses of all rivers, forest margins, swamps, lakes,
coast-lines, or other natural or artificial features,
must be sketched in for delineation in their proper
positions on the map.
48. The Native names of all boundaries or natural
features within or pertaining to the block must be
ascertained, together with the names and position of
adjacent lands, and shown on the map.
49. All plans are to be drawn upon mounted paper,
to the scales given in clause eighty-three of regu-
lations, but they must not be on a less scale than
twenty chains to the inch, unless by special permis-
sion. It is advisable when possible, but not abso-
lutely necessary, to keep the maps of the uniform
sizes of thirty inches by thirty inches, or eighteen
inches by sixteen inches, but in no case must a
less space than one hundred square inches be left
clear of any survey detail. Maps should be neatly
drawn in accordance with specimens to be seen in
any of the survey offices. The whole boundary of
the land forming the subject of the claim is to be
conspicuously indicated by a tint of pink carried all
round within it, and when islands lying adjacent to
the mainland are intended to be included within the
claim they must be coloured of the same tint. The
map should have a plain title stating the Native
name of the block, the survey district, the county
and the provincial district in which the land lies, with
the name or names of one or more of the applicants,
and the names of those who pointed out the boun-
daries. The scale to which it is drawn, the meridian
of the circuit in which the block is situated, and the
area, must be plainly stated. In the lower left-hand
corner must be quoted the number and date of letter
of instructions to the surveyor, with the number and
page of the field-book. The map must bear a cer-
tificate signed by the surveyor making the survey, as
follows:-
I HEREBY certify that this survey has been made under my own
inspection, that it is correct, and that all the rules and regula-
tions with respect to the survey of Native lands have been
strictly complied with.
Forwarded to the Chief Surveyor at
day of
18
, on the
Authorized Surveyor.
Assistants employed by surveyors must be approved
by the Chief Surveyor.
50. The approximate position of future lines of
road must be shown on the map by double-dotted
sienna lines.
51. All theodolite and chain triangular or traverse
work must be mathematically reduced on the meri-
dian and perpendicular, and be entered on the official
forms, and sent in with the map. When possible,
the work must be co-ordinated from the origin of the
circuit in which it lies; and in cases of long traverses,
where the gross error in closing amounts to more
than 20 links, it is to be eliminated in the columns
"Total traverses from origin" by proportional divi-
sion, leaving the first four columns when added up
to show such closure. Maps must be plotted from
co-ordinates, not by protractor and scale.
52. Field-books (to be supplied by the Govern-
ment) must be kept in ink, and be returned to the
Chief Surveyor of the district with the map, or when
called for.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Orders of Court as to Costs.
53. All orders of the Court shall be forwarded with
the claim to the Chief Judge.
Publication of Notices.
54. All notices forwarded by the Chief Judge to
any officer of the Government officially connected
with the Court for distribution and publication must
be distributed and published by him as quickly and
effectually as possible.

55. All orders of the Court not hereinbefore pro-
vided for shall be sealed with the seal of the Court,
and signed either by the Judge presiding or by the
Chief Judge.

56. Office copies of documents shall be sealed with
the seal of the Court, and signed by the Registrar or
a clerk for him.
Other Instruments.
57. All instruments not herein provided for shall
be in the form to be from time to time prescribed by
the Chief Judge.
58. If any unforeseen event renders necessary the
postponement of any Court, the Chief Judge may
postpone the same by notice, published as he may
think best.
59. The Clerk of the Court or officer temporarily
employed as such may, on the written request of the
Judge, adjourn the Court.
