name of the person interred, and the date of burial.

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

    of 1s. The fee for inspection will be remitted in the
    case of persons applying for and taking out a burial-
    warrant.

Burial-warrants to be issued.

15. In all cases of intended interment the person
    having the management or control of the same shall
    apply for a burial-warrant to the Trustees 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

    in the same. Persons who have purchased the right
    to fence in parcels 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 earth and rubbish not required. If not
    removed when required by the Trustees, they may
    cause the said earth and rubbish to be removed, and,
    if necessary, recover the cost and charges for the
    same in a summary manner in any Resident Magis-
    trate's Court having jurisdiction in the district, or
    before any two or more Justices of the Peace.

    above notice of eight hours.

21. In certain cases Fees may be Remitted.
    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.

Fences, Headstones, &c., to be kept in Repair by surviving
Owner.

    fences left in a state of decay, or broken down, may
    at any time be removed from the cemetery by order
    of the Trustees.

Vaults.

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 con-
    nected therewith shall be submitted to the Trustees
    for approval, and no work shall be commenced until
    such approval has been obtained.

Construction of Vaults.

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 the vaults shall be according
    to agreement with the Trustees. The entrance to the
    vault shall be either by a stone at the top, or an iron
    door; in all cases entrances shall be securely fastened,
    and all work done to the satisfaction of the Trustees.

Coffins for Vaults.

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.

    vault, and must be approved by the Trustees.

Vaults must be kept in Repair by surviving Owner.

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.

Earth and Rubbish to be removed by Applicant.

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.
