WHEREAS by "The Native Townships Act, 1895"
(hereinafter called "the said Act"), it is enacted
that the Governor in Council may from time to time make
such regulations as he thinks fit as to the mode in which
shall be done anything by the said Act expressed to be

effect to the provisions thereof; and also that such regu-

lations shall, if either House pass a resolution disapproving
of them, cease to have any validity or force:

advice and consent of the Executive Council, do hereby
make the regulations following for the purposes aforesaid:—

1. Any Native owner who objects to the sufficiency, size, or
   situation of the reserves or the Native allotments as shown
   on the plan of any township must submit his objections in
   writing to the Chief Judge of the Native Land Court within
   the period of two months during which the plan is being
   exhibited for inspection. Any such notice may be delivered
   personally to a Judge or Registrar of the Court, or be sent
   direct by registered letter to the Chief Judge. Such notice
   shall be in the following form or to the following effect:—

   the said Act may be fixed by agreement between the parties
   interested and the Minister of Lands, or, in case of disagree-
   ment, on the application of the Minister or any person
   interested, by the Native Land Court, in the same manner,
   as nearly as may be, as is provided by section 90 of "The
   Public Works Act, 1894," with regard to claims for com-
   pensation in respect of leasehold interests in land owned
   by Natives which has been taken for public purposes under
   the provisions of the said Public Works Act.
3. Allotments to be leased in any Native township shall
   be advertised for lease in the same manner, as nearly as

   tions:—

   tender (as the Commissioner thinks fit).
   (2.) The bidder or tenderer (as the case may be) of the
   highest rent shall be declared to be the lessee,
   and, if any dispute arises as to the last or highest
   bidding at any auction for any lot, the lot in dis-
   pute shall be put up again at the last-preceding
   bidding.

   lot shall, upon the fall of the hammer, pay to the
   auctioneer the first half-year's rent in advance
