THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.
[No. 32
from any forest, any right or rights of way through any part of the same, the Minister may grant such right or rights, and may impose such conditions in each case as may be deemed necessary. But no such right shall exist for any period beyond the term specified in the license or authority.
Timber, &c., may be sold by auction or appraisement. Moneys payable to Receiver.
- All timber and other produce within any forest may be disposed of, either by auction at per 100 ft., or by appraisement, or license to fell, upon such terms as the Minister shall prescribe; and all moneys which shall be payable for such timber or other produce shall be paid, in such manner as he shall direct, to the Receiver of Land Revenue, to be paid by him into the Public Account.
Brand.
- When required by the Commissioner, any person holding a license to fell timber shall use a brand, and shall register the same in the office of the Land Board for the district; and no two persons shall use the same brand.
Illegal use of brand.
- Any person marking any timber with any brand not belonging to him, or branding any timber belonging to any other person with any brand other than the brand of the owner of such timber, shall be guilty of an offence, and shall upon conviction be liable to a penalty not exceeding £50 for each offence.
Fires spreading.
- Any person lighting a fire within a forest, or who shall permit any fire lighted by him outside the boundaries of any such forest to spread into or cause injuries to such forest, shall be guilty of an offence, and shall upon conviction be liable to a penalty not exceeding £50 for each such offence; but the payment of such penalty shall not prevent the recovery from the wrongdoer of the value of any damage which may be done by such fire, nor prevent his being indicted for an offence or crime under “The Crimes Act, 1908,” or otherwise.
Animals trespassing may be impounded.
- Any Forest Ranger, or person authorised for that purpose by the Commissioner, may drive any animal trespassing in such forest to the nearest public pound, and such animal shall not be released therefrom except upon payment of the usual driving-fees and poundage-charges. Nothing in this regulation contained shall be deemed to limit or prevent the taking of any proceedings for the recovery of any penalty or otherwise in respect of the trespass of such animal.
Penalty for allowing animal to trespass.
- Any person who shall suffer or allow any animal to wander in any forest, or browse upon or otherwise destroy any timber, tree, shrub, or vegetable growth in such forest, shall upon conviction be liable to a penalty not exceeding £20; and the payment of such penalty shall not prevent the recovery from any wrongdoer of the value of any damage which may be done by such animal.
