And whereas it is deemed desirable to revoke No. 2 of

forth:

Now, therefore, I, David, Earl of Glasgow, the Governor
of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of
the powers and authorities in that behalf conferred upon
me by the said recited Act, do hereby revoke No. 2 of
the regulations of the twenty-third day of December, one

hereinafter set forth, and do hereby declare that such regu-

REGULATIONS.

2. What Land may be held as Licensed Holdings and
   Special Claims.—Any Crown lands within any mining dis-
   trict in New Zealand may be held as licensed holdings or
   special claims under these regulations, except (1) the whole
   or any part of land which any person other than the appli-
   cant is entitled to occupy and actually does occupy for
   mining purposes; (2) the whole or any part of any land in
   or over which any person other than the applicant has any
   interest or authority other than those above mentioned,
   which he may lawfully use or exercise for mining purposes,
   or for discovering the existence of gold or other metal or
   mineral; (3) all lands which, by the provisions of "The
   Mining Act, 1891," are specially exempted from the opera-
   tion of such Act.

2A. Roads, Rivers, and Streams not to disserve Licensed
Holdings or Special Claims.—A licensed holding or special
claim may be granted as aforesaid, notwithstanding that a
road, river, stream, or watercourse may pass through the
land applied for; and the bed of any river, stream, or water-
course may also be included in such licensed holding or
special claim at the discretion of the Warden; but in no case
shall the holder of such licensed holding or special claim be
entitled to stop or impede the flow of water in such river,
stream, or watercourse, nor carry on any workings under-
neath the bed of any river, stream, or watercourse included
within the boundaries of such licensed holding or special
claim, unless with the sanction of the Warden, to be pre-
viously obtained, and then only under such conditions as he
may deem fit to impose.
