As to Determination of Questions or Disputes by Warden and Two Assessors.

171. In every case where any question or dispute is to be determined by the Warden and two Assessors, the provisions of section 113 of the Mining Act shall, mutatis mutandis, apply.

Purchase and Sale of Gold and Registration of Gold-buyers.

172. Any person, other than an incorporated bank, desirous of obtaining a gold-dealer’s license shall, at least thirty days before the hearing, lodge with the Warden an application in duplicate in the Form No. 108 in the Ninth Schedule hereto, together with a fee of five shillings.

173. The duplicate shall, on the day of the receipt thereof by the Mining Registrar or Clerk of the Court, be posted in a conspicuous place either within or without the Court, and shall be kept posted, legible, and intact till the day of hearing of the application.

174. The applicant shall forthwith cause a copy of his application to be published in two consecutive issues of a local newspaper, and shall also keep a copy posted until the hearing in a conspicuous place on the building in which he intends to carry on his business as a licensed gold-dealer. Applicants for the renewal of gold-dealers’ licenses shall not be required to advertise when applying for renewals of their licenses.

175. Any person may, either before or at the hearing of an application, object to the issue of a gold-dealer’s license to any applicant:

Provided that any objection may be communicated to the Warden or to the Minister by ordinary letter through the post; and, for the purpose of making due inquiry into the grounds of such objection, the Warden or Minister may defer dealing with the application for such period as may be necessary.

176. If the Minister decides to grant to any such applicant a gold-dealer’s license he shall cause a license in the Form No. 109 in the Ninth Schedule hereto to be issued to such person. When any such license has been granted, and has been registered in the Register of Licensed Gold-dealers at the office of the Department of Mines in Wellington, it shall be forwarded to the Warden for delivery to the licensee.

177. An incorporated bank shall apply in writing to the Minister for a general gold-dealers’ license, and, on receipt of a fee of five shillings, together with five shillings in addition for each branch at which gold-dealing is to be carried on, such license may be granted in the Form No. 110 in the Ninth Schedule hereto.

178. Such license shall authorise the bank to deal in gold at every branch specified therein.

179. The manager, or the accountant, or the officer in charge of the gold-buying department for the time being at every such branch shall be deemed to be a “licensee” within the meaning of the said Act.

180. The bank, in the application for the license, shall state the places at which such branches are established, and from time to time give to the Under-Secretary of Mines written notice of the establishment of any additional branch at which gold-dealing is to be carried on.

181. A Gold-dealer’s Book, in the Form No. 111 in the Ninth Schedule hereto, shall be kept at the registered place of business of every gold-dealer, and at every branch of an incorporated bank holding a gold-dealer’s license at which gold-dealing is carried on. Every licensed gold-dealer other than an incorporated bank, and, in the case of a bank, the manager, accountant, or officer in charge of the gold-buying department for the time being of the branch, as the case may be, shall personally conduct and carry out every transaction relating to the purchase or sale of gold, and shall, after every purchase or sale has been effected, forthwith record in his Gold-dealer’s Book the prescribed particulars of the transaction.

182. On or before the fifth day of each month every licensed gold-dealer and the manager at any such branch of an incorporated bank holding a gold-dealer’s license shall forward to the Under-Secretary of Mines a return in the Form No. 112 in the Ninth Schedule hereto, containing the particulars therein prescribed with regard to every transaction relating to gold undertaken by him or by his bank during the preceding month.

183. The statutory declaration to be made by the sender when forwarding gold by post or other intermediary to an incorporated bank licensed under the said Act shall be in the Form No. 113 in the Ninth Schedule hereto.

184. Any failure to comply with the provisions of clauses 181 to 183 of these regulations renders the person or persons liable to the penalties set out in sections 376 to 378 of “The Mining Act, 1908.”

185. Any person who desires to obtain a temporary license to deal in gold in any remote locality shall lodge with the Warden an application in the Form No. 114 in the Ninth Schedule hereto, together with a fee of five shillings.

186. Every temporary license granted by a Warden shall be in the Form No. 115 in the Ninth Schedule hereto.

187. The provisions of these regulations relating to gold-buyers shall apply to the holder of a temporary license so far as the same are applicable thereto.

REGULATIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICITY.

I. Definitions.

(a.) The expression “pressure” means the difference of electrical potential between any two conductors through which a supply of energy is given, or between any part of either conductor and earth as read by a hot wire or electrostatic voltmeter, and—

Where the conditions of the supply are such that the pressure at the terminals where the electricity is used cannot exceed 250 volts, the supply shall be deemed a low-pressure supply;

Where the conditions of supply are such that the pressure at the terminals where the electricity is used, between any two conductors, or between one conductor and earth, may at any time exceed 250 volts, but cannot exceed 650 volts, the supply shall be deemed a medium-pressure supply;

Where the conditions of supply are such that the pressure at the terminals where the electricity is used, between any two conductors, or between one conductor and earth, may at any time exceed 650 volts, but cannot exceed 3,000 volts, the supply shall be deemed a high-pressure supply;

Where the conditions of supply are such that the pressure at the terminals where the electricity is used, between any two con-
