WHEREAS it is enacted in Part II of the Fisheries Act, 1908, that the Governor in Council may from time to time, by Order in Council gazetted, make regulations to have force and effect throughout New Zealand, or only in such waters or places as are specified in the regulations:

And whereas by Order in Council dated the twenty-first day of September, one thousand nine hundred and four, and published in the New Zealand Gazette No. 78, of the twenty-second day of the same month, regulations for the Hawke’s Bay Acclimatization District were made providing, inter alia, that no lures or baits other than natural or artificial flies, insects, worms, or fish shall be used in any of the waters in the said acclimatization district, and it is desirable to alter such regulations by providing that artificial fly only shall be used for taking trout in the Tutaekuri River and its tributaries, and that no bait other than artificial fly, artificial minnow, or spoon be allowed in either the Ngaruroro or the Tukituki Rivers or their tributaries:

“Provided that no bait other than artificial fly shall be used for taking fish in the Tutaekuri River or its tributaries, and that no bait other than artificial fly, artificial minnow, or spoon shall be used for taking fish in the Ngaruroro and Tukituki Rivers or their tributaries.”

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by Order in Council made and gazetted on the thirteenth day of July, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, certain regulations were made under the West Coast Settlement Reserves Amendment Act, 1913: And whereas it is expedient to amend those regulations in manner hereinafter appearing:

Now, therefore, in pursuance and in exercise of the powers and authorities conferred by the West Coast Settlement Reserves Amendment Act, 1913, and of all other powers him hereunto enabling, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, by and with the consent and advice of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby revoke regulations sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen of the said recited regulations of the thirteenth day of July, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, and doth make the following additional regulations under that Act; and doth hereby declare that the said revocation shall take effect and the regulations hereby made shall come into operation on the first day of March, one thousand nine hundred and sixteen.

REGULATIONS.

1. THESE regulations shall be read together with and shall be deemed part of the regulations made under the West Coast Settlement Reserves Amendment Act, 1913, by Order in Council dated the 13th day of July, 1914.

2. Upon the maturing of partition orders under the Act the Native Land Court, in the case of unsettled reserves, or of other land in respect of which no new lease is granted, or of land in respect of which any lease thereof is acquired by purchase by the beneficial owner or owners of the fee-simple of the land affected by such lease and becomes merged in the freehold under section 8 of the West Coast Settlement Reserves Amendment Act, 1915, and in the case of all other land upon the expiration of the new lease comprising such land, shall forthwith transmit the partition orders to the District Land Registrar of the district in which the land comprised in such partition orders is situated.

3. The District Land Registrar shall withhold the issue of a certificate of title in respect of land comprised in any partition order received by him in pursuance of the preceding regulation for a period of two months immediately following such receipt, within which time the Native owners of such land may by notice in writing, in the forms set out in the Second Schedule to the said regulations of the 13th day of July, 1914, direct him to issue such certificate of title to the Public Trustee instead of to themselves. Where there are more owners than one named in a partition order such notice must be signed by all such owners.

4. In the event of his receiving such notice the District Land Registrar shall thereupon proceed to register the Public Trustee as owner of the land comprised in the partition order to which such notice relates, and shall issue the relative certificate of title to the Public Trustee.

5. Unless such notice is received by the District Land Registrar he shall, upon the expiration of the aforesaid period of two months, issue the certificate of title in the names of the Natives named in the partition order.

6. Every lease granted by the Public Trustee pursuant to the power in that behalf conferred upon him by section 15 of the Act shall contain, inter alia, the powers, provisions, covenants, and agreements set out in the Third Schedule of the said regulations dated the 13th day of July, 1914, or such of them as the Public Trustee deems suitable and proper in the circumstances.
