Regulations for Occupation of Pastoral Lands within the
Hauraki Mining District.

LIVERPOOL, Governor.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred by sec-
tion three of the Land Act, 1908, and by section thirty-
eight of the Mining Act, 1908, I, Arthur William de Brito
Savile, Earl of Liverpool, the Governor of the Dominion of
New Zealand, do hereby revoke a Warrant making regula-
tions for the occupation of pastoral lands in the Hauraki Min-
ing District, dated the twenty-seventh day of February, one
thousand nine hundred and five, and published in the New
Zealand Gazette of the second day of March, one thousand
nine hundred and five; and I do hereby declare that pastoral
licenses may hereafter be granted within such portions of the
Hauraki Mining District as lie within the Counties of Coro-
mandel, Thames, Ohinemuri, and Tauranga, in accordance
with the regulations hereinafter set forth.

REGULATIONS.

INTERPRETATION.—In these regulations, unless inconsistent
with the context, the word “licensee” includes the successors
and assigns of a licensee.

1. (1.) Application may be made for pastoral licenses in
   respect of any of the Crown lands within such portions of the
   Hauraki Mining District as lie within the Counties of Coro-
   mandel, Thames, Ohinemuri, and in respect of such Crown
   land as may be proclaimed from time to time within the
   Tauranga County, excepting timber and other public reserves,
   and the areas described in the First Schedule hereto.

(2.) Every such application shall be in the form in the
Second Schedule hereto or to the effect thereof, and every
applicant shall make the declaration appended thereto, or a
declaration to that effect.

2. The area which may be applied for under these regula-
   tions shall not in any case be less than 25 acres nor exceed
   1,000 acres, and a license under these regulations shall entitle
   the holder thereof to the exclusive right of pasturage over
   the lands specified in the license, but shall give no right to
   the timber, minerals, or kauri-gum. The term “minerals”
   in this section includes all minerals, mineral oils, metals, clay,
   stone, coal, or other valuable materials existing below the
   surface of the land.

3. The Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Land District
   of Auckland may, with the approval of the Warden for the
   district and the Land Board, grant pastoral licenses under
   these regulations to any person of the age of seventeen years
   or upwards who may apply for the same. All lands held by
   one licensee under these regulations must be contiguous.

4. Every application for other than a whole section or
   whole sections of surveyed land shall state the estimated
   area, and shall be accompanied by a tracing or sketch from
   a survey map sufficient to identify the particular area applied
   for.

5. All land applied for other than whole sections shall be
   marked out by erecting and maintaining at each angle a post
   not less than 3 in. in diameter and standing not less than
   3 ft. above the surface of the ground, and by L trenches not
   less than 6 in. deep, 10 in. wide, and 5 ft. long.

6. Every application for unsurveyed land shall contain a
   written description of the land, with estimated area; and
   the boundaries shall, so far as practicable, be straight lines,
   roads, existing survey lines, or natural boundaries, and
   marked on the ground.

7. Notice of every application shall be advertised by and
   at the expense of the applicant not less than three weeks
   before the application is considered by the Land Board.
   Every such notice shall be published twice in such one news-
   paper, or once each in such two newspapers, as the Com-
   missioner of Crown Lands may direct, and copies of such
   newspaper or newspapers shall be produced by the applicant
   on request.

8. If there is no valid objection, and the Commissioner of
   Crown Lands or the Warden is not aware of any sufficient
   reason why a license should not issue, the Land Board may
   grant to the applicant a pastoral license of the land applied
   for, or such portion thereof as they deem expedient. In
   granting any such license the Land Board may impose such
   special conditions as it deems advisable.

9. In the event of any person objecting to the granting of
   a pastoral license he shall set forth the grounds of objection,
   in writing, to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, and also
   serve a copy thereof on the Warden and upon the applicant
   three days at least before the expiration of the notice; and
   the person objecting may, at a meeting of the Land Board,
   urge the objection personally or by agent. The Land Board
   may refuse any application if the whole or part of the land
   is auriferous, or for any other reason in its discretion, whether
   objections are lodged or not.

10. The annual rent payable under the license shall be a sum
    to be fixed by the Land Board, but shall not be less than 3d.
    per acre per annum, payable half-yearly in advance to the
    Receiver of Land Revenue, Auckland. The first half-year's
    rent must be accompanied with the license fee of £1 1s.

11. The term of license shall be twenty-one years, and
    upon the expiration of the term it shall be competent for the
    Land Board to grant a renewal for twenty-one years over
    the whole or part of the area comprised in the license, upon
    such terms as it thinks fit, subject to the Warden's approval
    and section 244 of the Land Act, 1908. Such license shall be
    issued subject to the terms and conditions, as nearly as may
    be, contained in section 235 of the said Act.

12. No deposit of survey fees shall be required, except in
    exceptional cases to be determined by the Land Board,
    who shall also fix the amount of deposit, which shall be in
    accordance with the scale of fees for the survey of Crown
    lands, and such deposit of survey fees shall be credited
    to the lessee as rent. Pastoral areas shall be defined where
    possible by ridge or other natural boundaries already deter-
    mined by the mining surveys made for mining claims.
