[No. 32
Disposal of timber by licensee.
110. The timber acquired by the licensee shall in no case be
disposed of to any millowner who owns, holds, or controls a
supply of timber exceeding three times the yearly cutting-capacity
of such mill.
Kauri-bleeding prohibited.
111. Any person who by himself, his agents or workmen, bleeds
any kauri-tree in any State forest shall be liable to a penalty not
exceeding £20 for every tree so bled: Provided that neither the
prosecution of the offender for such offence nor the payment of the
penalty shall prevent the recovery from him of the value of all
damage done by him (including the value of all gum obtained by
him) or his prosecution for theft of the gum. “Bleeding ” the
tree means cutting, boring, or tapping any part of the tree so as
thereby to produce or promote the flow or exudation of the gum.
112. Should any licensee “bled” or allow to be “bled ” any
timber sold to him under these regulations, the Conservator shall
at once have power to call upon him to pay in cash forthwith the
whole of the purchase-money outstanding on account of all the
timber sold to him situated in any forest or bush of which the
timber “bled” forms part, and any promissory notes that may
have been given in payment thereof shall not be accepted as
sufficient payment in terms of this regulation. Failure to pay
such outstanding purchase-money within thirty days from date of
notice by the Conservator shall entail forfeiture of the license.
No destruction of timber-trees.
113. Any person who unlawfully injures or destroys any timber
tree growing in any State forest otherwise than by “bleeding ”
it as aforesaid shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding £5 for
every tree so injured and destroyed.
GENERAL.
Illegal cutting of timber.
114. Should any person cut or remove any timber (including
firewood or posts) in any State forest without written authority to
do so in terms of these regulations, such person shall be liable to
a fine of twice the amount of royalty payable for such timber so
cut or removed, together with payment of all expenses incurred by
the Government in detecting and dealing with such illegal cutting
or removal of timber. Such fine may be imposed by the Commis
sioner, and, in payment thereof by the person so offending, further
proceedings may be stayed should the Commissioner so direct.
General regulations apply.
115. Subject to the special provisions of Regulations 76 to 113,
these regulations shall apply to all licenses issued and kauri timber
disposed of thereunder.
