    (Signed.)

Dated the day of , 18 .

  1. The brewer, upon receiving the permits, shall, within
    twenty-four hours, proceed to affix them upon the heads of
    the casks immediately under the bung-stave, and at the
    same time cancel each permit in the same manner as beer-
    duty stamps are required to be cancelled.

  2. All beer removed under bond shall have a permit
    affixed to the cask containing it before removal from the
    brewery.

  3. All beer for which permits have been obtained shall
    be delivered from the brewery and deposited in the depot,
    warehouse, or place within the time specified in such per-
    mits, or, if not used, the permits shall be returned to the
    Collector before the expiration of that time.

  4. As soon as the permits are affixed, the brewer shall
    notify to the Collector of the district the date of such affix-
    ing, in order that it may be recorded.

  5. The date of affixing the permit, or, in case the date is
    accidentally obliterated, the date of issue of the permit,
    shall be the point of time from which calculation shall be
    made in determining whether the cask has been too long in
    transit from the brewery to the depot, warehouse, or place ;
    and in case both dates are illegible the casks may be de-
    tained and the owner required to prove the absence of frau-
    dulent intent.

  6. When the depot, warehouse, or place is situated in a
    different district to that in which the brewery is situated,
    due notice of the intended removal of beer is to be forwarded
    by the Collector issuing the permits to the Collector in whose
    district the depot, warehouse, or place is situated ; and the
    brewer is promptly to notify to the Collector last mentioned
    the receipt in his warehouse of the casks containing such
    beer.

  7. Beer may be repacked in the depot, warehouse, or
    place as aforesaid into other casks, provided they are of such
    sizes as are prescribed by regulations, and the necessary
    stamps are affixed before delivery as required by the fifteenth
    section of the said Act.

  8. Permits are to remain upon the casks until they are
    removed from the depot, warehouse, or place aforesaid, or
    until the contents thereof have been repacked into other
    casks and the necessary duty-stamps affixed, at which time
    they are to be scraped off and destroyed.

  9. Every brewer removing beer under permit shall keep
    a separate account, in a book to be provided for that pur-
    pose, of all beer received into his depot, warehouse, or place
    aforesaid; and of all beer sold or removed therefrom for con-
    sumption or sale.

  10. Such book shall be kept in the manner similar to the
    book required to be kept under the provisions of section
    24, and to be subject in all respects to the sections of the
    said Act requiring brewers to keep books and render state-
    ments.

  11. When beer is to be removed from one part of the colony
    to another before being stamped, the brewer shall give bond
    in the form provided for the removal of warehoused goods
    under the Customs Acts, so far as the same may be applic-
    able.

  12. Immediately after arrival at port of destination, and
    before leaving the wharf, each cask is to be stamped in the
    manner required by section 15 of the said Act, in the pre-
    sence of an Examining Officer of Customs.

  13. Each permit shall be destroyed by the Examining
    Officer at the time when the stamp is affixed.

  14. The agent of the brewer at the port of destination
    may for the purposes of these regulations be treated as the
    brewer for the purpose of purchasing, cancelling, and affix-
    ing of stamps as required by law and regulations.

  15. Beer may be exported without being stamped, provided
    the exporter enters into the bond required under the Customs
    Acts for the exportation of warehoused goods, so far as the
    same may be applicable, and obtains and affixes the usual
    permit to each cask.

  16. The bond to be given under section 10 of the said Act
    shall be in the form of Schedule B hereto.

  17. If any person fails, refuses, or neglects to do anything
    required by these regulations, or wilfully does anything pro-
    hibited by these regulations, every such person so offending
    shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding £50.
