No license shall confer any right of entry upon the land of any person without his consent.

In lieu of regulation thirteen of the said regulations insert the following, namely,—

13. No person shall put, throw, drag, draw, or place, or allow to be put, thrown, dragged, drawn, or placed, for any purpose whatsoever, any net of any description (except a landing-net) in any of the waters, rivers, or streams in the said district in which trout, perch, or tench have been placed or exist, or within half a mile of the mouth or entrance of any such waters, rivers, or streams (except as may be provided in regulations authorising the taking of lake trout): Provided that nothing herein contained shall prevent the placing of any net, other than a stake net, in or across the parts of the rivers mentioned in the Second Schedule hereto for the purpose of taking indigenous fish by such means, or render any person liable to any penalty for so doing.
