Present:

THE HONOURABLE THE PREMIER PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

IN pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in him
by "The Fisheries Conservation Act, 1884," His Excel-
lency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, acting by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of
the said colony, doth hereby make the following regula-
tions for the Hawke's Bay Acclimatisation District and the
waters thereof, and doth hereby declare that these regula-
tions shall, as from the date of the publication thereof in the
New Zealand Gazette, supersede all regulations at variance
therewith.

REGULATIONS.

1. LICENSES to fish for trout and perch in all waters within
   that district or part of the North Island known as the
   Hawke's Bay Acclimatisation District, comprising the
   Counties of Waipawa, Patangata, Hawke's Bay, and Wai-
   roa, may be issued under the hand of the Secretary of the
   Hawke's Bay Acclimatisation Society (hereinafter termed
   "the said society"), or any one authorised by the said
   Secretary in that behalf: Provided that it shall not be
   obligatory on the said Secretary or his deputy to issue a
   license.

2. For every such license a fee of twenty shillings will be
   charged. Licenses may also be issued to boys of the age of
   sixteen years or under at a reduced fee of ten shillings for
   each license so issued; but no license shall confer any right
   of entry upon the land of any person without his consent.

3. The Secretary of the said society may issue day licenses
   to bona fide travellers and strangers not resident within the
   district aforesaid, on their introduction to him by any two
   members of the said society, and on payment of a fee of two
   shillings and sixpence for each day's fishing: Provided that
   this payment may be remitted if the applicant be a member
   of or hold a valid license from any other society in New
   Zealand which grants the like privilege.

4. Any holder of a license may fish with one rod and line
   for trout and perch, and may use a landing-net or gaff to
   secure any trout or perch caught with such rod and line, in
   the above-named waters, from the fifteenth day of Septem-
   ber in any year to the sixteenth day of April in any year,
   both inclusive; but every such license shall be for one
   season only, and shall expire on the sixteenth day of April
   following the date on which it is issued.

5. No license shall authorise any person other than the
   person named therein to fish, and that with natural or arti-
   ficial fly, insect, or fish only.

6. No person shall have in his possession any of the
   salmonidæ or trout between the sixteenth day of April and
   the fifteenth day of September, which period is hereby ap-
   pointed a close season for all such fish: Provided always
   that this regulation shall not apply to fish caught by the
   officers of the said society for purposes of acclimatisation.

7. No person shall put, throw, or place, or allow to be put,
   thrown, or placed, into any river or stream, or at the mouth
   or entrance of any such river or stream, any dynamite or
   other explosive substance, or any sawdust or sawmill refuse,
   or anything of any kind or description whatever poisonous,
   deleterious, or noxious to fish.

8. 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 re-
   turned to the water from whence it was taken.

9. No person shall fish for trout or perch 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, member, constable,
   or person his license and the contents of his creel or bag,
   and the bait used by him for taking, catching, or killing
   such trout or perch.

10. Every trout not exceeding nine inches in length from
    nose to tip of tail, taken or caught by any person, shall im-
    mediately be returned alive into the water from which the
    same is taken.

11. No person shall take, catch, or kill any perch under
    eight inches in length, nor shall perch be taken, caught, or
    killed at all, or had in possession of any person, between the
    sixteenth day of April and the thirtieth day of September in
    any year.

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

13. Except as aforesaid, no person shall fish with or use
    any net or other engine, instrument, or device for taking
    salmon, or trout, or perch in any river or stream within the
    district aforesaid, or at the mouth or entrance of any such
    river or stream.

14. For the purposes of these regulations the mouth of
    every such river or stream shall be deemed to include every
    outlet of the same and the sea-shore between such out-
    lets, and shall extend over a radius of one-quarter of a mile
    from the point or line where the waters of such river or
    stream meet those of the sea or of any harbour at low water.

15. No person shall buy, sell, or expose or offer for sale, or
    shall fish for the purpose of obtaining for sale, any salmon,
    trout, or perch, or any part thereof.

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

17. If any person shall be convicted of any offence against
    these regulations the license (if any) held by the offender
    shall thereupon become void.

mine whether or not the said land or any part thereof was
on the investigation of title thereto, intended by the Native
Land Court, or by the nominal owner or owners of such
land, to be held by such nominal owner or owners in trust
for Natives not named in the title, and to determine who are
the Natives (if any) entitled beneficially to such land, and to
order the inclusion of such Natives in the title, either toge-
ther with or in lieu of the nominal owners or any of them—
and for the purpose aforesaid to order the cancellation or
amendment of any existing instrument of title, and the issue
of such new Crown grants or other instruments of title as
may be necessary, and generally to exercise in respect of the
said land all the jurisdiction and powers conferred on the
Native Land Court by subsection ten of section fourteen of
"The Native Land Court Act, 1894."
