ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twelfth
day of October, 1896.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS by “The Sea-fisheries Act, 1894” (herein-
after termed “the said Act”), it is amongst other
things enacted that the Governor in Council may make
regulations for, amongst other things, limiting the size when
wet of the mesh in the square, or in extension from knot
to knot, of nets and seines to be used in fishing, or altogether
prohibiting the use of nets of any sort:

And whereas it is expedient to make the regulations
hereinafter set forth limiting the size when wet of the mesh
of nets which may be used for taking herrings in Lake
Ellesmere, in the Provincial District of Canterbury, and
providing that such nets shall only be used as set-nets:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
hereinbefore-recited power and authority, and acting by and
with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the
said colony, doth hereby make the following regulations, and
doth declare that such regulations shall have force and effect
in Lake Ellesmere only.

REGULATIONS.

1. The mesh of every herring-net shall measure diagonally,
   when prepared for use, wetted, and stretched, not less than
   1½in.; and every such net shall be used as a set-net only.

2. The size of mesh in every case shall be ascertained by
   measuring the length on the diagonal, or between knot and
   knot of opposite corners, the net being first wetted, and
   being tanned, barked, or otherwise prepared for use. In
   case of dispute or doubt, a ½lb. weight shall be slung or
   attached to one knot of a mesh, in order to produce a fair
   strain or extension, and the space between the knots shall
   be measured forthwith while the mesh remains extended. If
   the net to be measured is dry, the part to be measured shall
   be soaked either in fresh or salt water for not less than ten
   minutes, and the mesh so soaked shall then be measured.

3. Any person committing a breach of the above regu-
   lations shall be liable to a penalty of not less than one
   pound and not exceeding twenty pounds.
