whereas for the purpose of more effectively providing for His Majesty’s

“Lamb-pelts” means lamb-skins from which the wool has been re-
moved by any fellmongering process:
“Lamb” means a sheep under the age of twelve months:
“Sale” includes any mode of disposition by way of agreement other
than a disposition by way of security only.
It shall not be lawful for any person to sell or agree or offer to
sell, whether as principal, agent, or otherwise, any lamb-pelts produced
in New Zealand, whether before or after the making of these regula-
tions, otherwise than—
(a.) To His Majesty; or
(b.) For delivery by the seller to the purchaser in the United King-
dom; or
(c.) For delivery by the seller on board a ship in New Zealand for
direct carriage to the United Kingdom; or
