conferred upon me by the fourth section of "The Land
Act, 1885," I, William Hillier, Earl of Onslow, the Governor
of the Colony of New Zealand, do hereby make the following
regulations for the purposes of the said Act, that is to
say,-

1. All timber and other produce (except kauri gum) within
   any forest on Crown lands (other than State forest) may
   be disposed of either by auction at per 100ft., or by ap-
   praisement for a single tree; and all moneys which shall
   be payable for such timber or products shall be paid to the
   Receiver of Land Revenue.

2. It shall be a condition precedent to the sale of any
   quantity of timber other than a single tree that a Crown
   Lands Ranger shall first report on the estimated quantity,
   quality, and general position and value of such timber; and
   thereupon the Land Board of the district may order the
   sale in manner above described.

3. When timber is sold by auction it shall be a condition
   that fifty per centum on the value of the estimated quantity
   be paid to the Receiver of Land Revenue on the fall of the
   hammer, and the balance upon such date as shall be stated
   in the license, and when sold by the single tree that the
   price fixed be paid at the time of sale. If any balance of
   purchase-money remains unpaid for the space of seven days
   after the time limited for payment thereof, the Land Board
   may declare the contract of sale, and all rights and privi-
   leges of the purchaser thereunder, to be at an end, and there-
   upon any moneys paid in respect of such contract shall be
   absolutely forfeited to Her Majesty.

4. Before any license is issued to any purchaser of timber
   bought at auction, all timber so sold shall be branded by a
   Crown Lands Ranger, and only such timber as bears such
   brand shall be felled, cut, or sawn.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor,
this twelfth day of October, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-nine.

Minister of Lands.
