AMENDED REGULATION.

1. THE Public Trustee shall, on receipt of a certificate from a duly qualified medical officer, and also on the certificate from an Inspector of Mines, apply the moneys deposited to the credit of the Gold-miners’ Relief Fund, as follows :—

(a.) When any gold-miner has been injured while working, and is off work for one week or more, he shall receive the sum of 12s. 6d. per week, or at the rate of 2s. 1d. for every working-day, from the date of the injury, which payment shall, subject as hereinafter provided, continue so long as such medical officer and Inspector of Mines certify that such gold-miner is unable to work; but when an injury occurs in any mine situate in a locality remote from settlement, where the services of a medical officer are not procurable, or in any case where the Inspector of Mines is of opinion and certifies that a medical certificate is unnecessary, payment at the prescribed rate may be made for any period not exceeding thirty days from the date of the injury on the certificate of the Inspector of Mines alone. In cases where any gold-miner is permanently disabled, he may be granted a fixed sum (not exceeding £50) in satisfaction of all claims, but in any such case the certificate of a duly qualified medical officer and an Inspector of Mines will be required. No gold-miner shall be entitled to any payment in any case unless he has been so injured as to prevent him working for a period of not less than one week, and the total amount payable to any gold-miner shall in no case exceed £50.

(b.) If any gold-miner meets with an injury which proves fatal, the nearest relative of such gold-miner may be granted a sum (not exceeding £10) towards defraying the funeral expenses of the deceased miner, and an additional sum (not exceeding £15) may be granted to the widow or other near relative of such deceased miner in full satisfaction of all claims.
