And whereas the Land Board of the Land District of Otago, in accordance with section one hundred and sixteen of the said Act, has thought fit to fix the terms and conditions hereinafter mentioned:

Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority hereinbefore mentioned, I, David, Earl of Glasgow, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, do hereby make the following rules, regulations, and orders for the care and management of the several commonages of Clyde and Cromwell described in the First Schedule hereto, and do hereby impose the rents to be paid as hereinafter provided, that is to say:—

1. The words "great cattle" shall be construed to mean and include cattle, horses, mules, and asses, male or female, and their offspring above six months of age; and the words "small cattle" shall be construed to mean sheep, male and female, and their offspring above the age of six months.

2. Persons may run great cattle or small cattle upon such of the lands respectively described in the First Schedule as may be mentioned in the depasturing license, to be obtained as hereinafter provided.

3.

If such application be refused the fee shall be refunded to the applicant.

4. The number of cattle to be depastured shall be mentioned in the license, and the rent to be paid in respect of such license shall be calculated upon the following scale, that is to say:—

s. d.

Every such license shall be in the form or to the effect contained in the Second Schedule hereto, and shall expire on the 30th June in every year, when such license may be renewed in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Every license shall be granted subject to the conditions herein set forth, and shall be issued and signed by the Commissioner of Crown Lands.

5. All cattle depastured must be branded, and the brand and a description of the cattle must be registered with the Ranger.

No bull, ram, or stallion shall be depastured without the express permission in writing of the Commissioner; and any person or persons committing a breach of this provision shall be liable to any penalty prescribed by or under "The Land Act, 1892," or under any other law or statute for the time being in force, and applicable to the case.

7. If any licensee shall at any time commit or suffer a breach of the conditions or terms upon which the license is granted, as the same are herein set forth, the Commissioner may on such evidence as he thinks fit cancel and determine the license then held by such licensee, and he shall have no claim to any refund or allowance in respect thereof.

8. No person shall remove from beyond the boundary of the land described in the First Schedule any cattle other than those belonging to him, or for the removal of which he shall have authority from the Ranger, under a penalty not exceeding £5.

If any person not being licensed as aforesaid shall depasture any great cattle or small cattle upon the lands described in the First Schedule, or either of them, or being so licensed shall depasture on such lands or either of them as aforesaid a greater number of such cattle than shall have been apportioned to him, every such person shall be liable to any provision of "The Land Act, 1892," that may be applicable to such a case, and to any penalty or disability thereby imposed in respect of unlawful occupation of Crown lands.

10. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to interfere with the powers or duties of the Commissioner of Crown Lands of the district in which the lands described in the First Schedule are situated, whether under "The Land Act, 1892," or under any other law or statute for the time being in force;
