   waters in the Provincial District of Canterbury north of the
   Rakaia River will be issued under the hand of the Secretary
   of the Canterbury Acclimatisation Society at Christchurch
   (hereinafter termed “the said society”), and for every such
   license a fee of twenty shillings will be charged: Provided

   shall entitle the person named therein to fish in any of the
   said waters from the first day of October in any year to the
   thirty-first day of March in the year following; but no such
   license shall confer any right of entry upon the land of any
   person without his consent.

3. No person shall fish for, take, catch, or kill, or have in
   his possession, or attempt to fish for, take, catch, or kill, in
   any manner whatever, any of the salmonidæ or trout, except
   during the above-mentioned period.

   therein to fish with one rod and line only, and with the fol-
   lowing baits: Natural or artificial fly, natural or artificial
   minnow, silveries, bullies (Eleotris gobioides), grasshoppers,
   spiders, caterpillars, creepers, and worms.

5. No person shall use any other bait, or any method,
   device, or contrivance of any sort or kind whatever, for the

   perch, or tench, except a rod and line, landing-net, and gaff
   for fish taken with rod and line.

6. No cross-line-fishing, stroke-hauling, or any other un-
   sportsmanlike device shall be used for the purpose of taking,
   catching, or killing trout, perch, or tench, nor shall any of
   the baits above mentioned be used with any medicated or
   chemical preparation whatever.

7. No person shall fish without a license, and every person
   fishing shall, on demand of any ranger, constable, member
   of the said society, or person producing a license, produce
   and show to such ranger, constable, member, or person his
   license, and the contents of his creel or bag, and the bait
   used by him for taking, catching, or killing trout, perch, or
   tench.

8. Every trout not exceeding ten inches in length from

   immediately be returned alive into the water from which
   the same is taken.

9. No person shall put, throw, or place, or allow to be put,
   thrown, or placed, into any of the said waters any sawdust
   or sawmill refuse, or anything of any kind or description
   whatever poisonous, deleterious, or noxious to fish.

10. No person shall take, fish for, catch, or kill in any
    manner whatever, or have in his possession, any salmon,
    salmon-parr, or smolts, or the ova, young, or fry of any salmon
    in any stage whatever; and any of the above-named taken by
    accident or otherwise shall immediately be returned to the
    water from whence it was taken; but this shall not prevent
    the officers of the said society, or any person authorised
    by the Secretary of the said society, from taking any kind or
    description of fish for scientific purposes or for the purposes
    of pisciculture.

11. No person other than as is provided by clause 12 of
    these regulations shall sell, or expose or offer for sale, within
    the district to which such regulations relate any of the sal-
    monidæ, trout, or tench, or take, fish for, catch, or kill any
    of the salmonidæ, trout, perch, or tench in order to make
    sale of the same.

12. It shall be lawful for the Secretary of the said society
    to issue licenses to persons to sell trout, and it shall be
    lawful to supply such licensed persons, and no others, with
    trout for the purpose of sale to the public, and the right of
    such sale shall be let by the said society from year to year by
    public auction or tender.

13. Every person to whom such license for selling trout as
    aforesaid shall be granted shall, on Saturday in every week,
    make a full, true, and complete return to the Secretary of
    the said society of the number and weight of all trout sold
    by him during that week; and shall at all times, on demand

    killed at all, or had in possession of any person, between the
    first day of July and the thirtieth day of November in any
    year.

15. The penalty for the breach of any of these regulations
    shall not be less than twenty shillings or more than fifty
    pounds.
