REGULATIONS.

1. These regulations shall come into force on the
   16th day of October, 1880.

2. Licenses to fish for trout in all the rivers,
   streams, and lakes in the Provincial District of Can-
   terbury north of the Rangitata River will be issued
   under the hand of the Secretary of the Canterbury
   Acclimatization Society at Christchurch, and for
   every such license a fee of twenty shillings will be
   charged. Provided that it shall not be obligatory
   upon the said Secretary to issue a license in case he
   shall have sufficient good reason for refusing the same.

3. Every such license shall entitle the person
   named therein to fish in any of the said rivers,
   streams, and lakes, from the 16th day of October,
   1880, until the 31st day of March, 1881, between the
   hours of 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. only, but no such license
   shall confer any right of entry upon the land of any
   person without his consent.

4. Every such license shall entitle the person
   named therein to fish with rod and line only, and
   any person who shall use any ground bait, or any
   net (except a landing net), or other engine, instru-
   ment, or device, or shall use or employ either of the
   methods known as "cross-line fishing," or "stroke-
   hauling," or any other unsportsmanlike device, or
   shall use as bait salmon-roe or any bait prepared
   with any chemical or medicated dressing whatever,
   for taking fish in any of the said rivers, streams, or
   lakes, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding £50;
   and every such net, or other engine, instrument, or
   device used contrary to these regulations shall be
   forfeited.

5. Any person fishing without a license, and any
   person who shall, on the demand of any person
   holding and showing a license, or on the demand of
   any police officer or constable or of any officer of the
   said Acclimatization Society, fail to produce and
   show to such person, police officer, constable, or
   officer his license shall be liable to a penalty not
   exceeding £20.

6. Every trout not exceeding eight inches in length
   taken by any person shall be immediately returned
   alive into the water from which the same is taken,
   and any person infringing this regulation shall be
   liable to a penalty not exceeding £20.

7. Any person who shall put, throw, or place, or
   allow to be put, thrown, or placed, into any river,
   stream, or lake in the said Provincial District of
   Canterbury any poisonous, deleterious, or noxious
   material, with intent to destroy any fish therein,
   shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding £100.

8. If any person shall be convicted of any offence
   against these regulations, the convicting Magistrate
   or Justices may, over and above any penalty inflicted,
   also declare the license of the offender to be forfeited,
   and thereupon his license shall become void.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the
Administrator of the Government, this
