[No. 83

Minister of Customs, or with any provisions of the Harbours Act, 1923, or its amendments, or any regulations made thereunder and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

8. The rights, powers, and privileges hereby conferred shall continue in force for fourteen years from the date hereof, unless in the meantime such rights, powers, and privileges shall be altered, modified, or revoked by competent authority; and the licensee shall not assign, charge, or part with any such right, power, or privilege without the previous written consent of the Minister first obtained.

9. The said rights, powers, and privileges conferred under or by virtue of this Order in Council may be at any time resumed by the Governor-General, and the licensee may be required to remove the dwellinghouse at the licensee’s own cost, without payment of any compensation whatever, on the licensee being given three calendar months’ previous notice in writing. Any such notice shall be sufficient if given by the Minister and delivered at or posted to the last known address of the licensee in New Zealand.

10. The licensee shall be liable for any injury which may be caused by the said dwellinghouse to any vessel or boat, through any default or neglect on the part of the licensee.

11. In case the licensee shall—
    (1) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions hereinbefore set forth, or any of them;
    (2) Cease to use or occupy the said dwellinghouse for a period of thirty days;
    (3) Fail to pay the sum specified in clause 3 of these conditions; or
    (4) Become bankrupt, or be in any manner brought under the operation of any Act for the time being in force relating to bankruptcy,—
    then, and in any of the said cases, this Order in Council and every license, right, power, or privilege thereby conferred, may be revoked and determined by the Governor-General in Council without any notice to the licensee or other proceedings whatever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the licensee and to all persons concerned or interested that this Order in Council, and the license, rights, and privileges thereby granted and conferred, have been revoked and determined.

12. In the event of this Order in Council being revoked for any reason whatever, or upon the expiry of the period for which the license is granted, the licensee shall, if required by the Minister so to do, remove the said dwellinghouse entirely from the site, and restore the site to its original condition within three calendar months from the date of the revocation or expiry, as the case may be; and, if the licensee fails so to do, the Minister may cause the said dwellinghouse to be removed and the site so restored, and may recover the costs incurred by the said removal and restoration from the licensee.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 5th day of December, 1929.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

IN pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in him by the Fisheries Act, 1908, and its amendments, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby make the following regulations for the Waiapu Acclimatization District and the waters thereof; and doth hereby declare that the regulations shall take effect as from the date of the publication thereof in the New Zealand Gazette.

REGULATIONS.

1. LICENSES to fish for trout in all waters within the said district, as described in the First Schedule hereto, shall be issued under the hand of the Secretary of the Waiapu Acclimatization Society (hereinafter termed “the said society”), or any one duly authorized by such Secretary in that behalf. Such licenses shall be whole-season, half-season, or day licenses.

2. Every such whole-season license shall entitle the holder thereof to fish for trout in all the waters of the said district for a period extending from the first day of October in any one year to the thirtieth day of April in the year following, both days inclusive; subject, however, to the special limitations and restrictions hereinafter provided.

3. Every half-season license shall entitle the holder thereof to fish as aforesaid in the waters of the said district for a period extending from the first day of February to the thirtieth day of April in any one year.

4. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred upon holders of such aforesaid licenses shall be exercised subject to the provisions of the said Act, and to the regulations made or hereafter to be made thereunder during the currency of such licenses, and to regulations made or hereafter to be made as aforesaid in force in or affecting any particular acclimatization district, or having special reference to any particular water, stream, river, or lake: Provided always that the Secretary of the said society, or any person authorized by him as aforesaid shall not be compelled to issue a license to any person who, within two years previously to the date of his application therefor has been convicted or shall have been convicted of any breach of the provisions of the said Act or the regulations thereunder, or of any Act relating to trout-fishing, or any regulations thereunder.

5. Licenses shall be issued by the said society at the following rates: For men—Whole-season licenses, 20s.; half-season licenses, 12s. 6d.; day licenses, 2s. 6d.

6. The holder of any such license as aforesaid may fish as aforesaid with one rod and line only, and may use a landing-net or gaff to secure any trout caught with such rod and line.

7. No person shall use any bait or lure other than the natural or artificial fly, or natural or artificial minnow, and any small indigenous fish, insect, grasshopper, beetle, or spider. The use of shellfish, fish ova, koura, or the houhou or matai grub, or of earthworms shall be a breach of the regulations.

8. No license shall be transferable, or be deemed to authorize any person other than the person named therein to fish.

9. The period from the first day of May to the thirtieth day of September, in any one year, both days inclusive, is hereby appointed a close season, during which it shall be unlawful for any person to fish for or take trout, or to in any way injure or disturb the same. No person shall have in his possession, whether frozen, chilled, or otherwise, any trout between the fifth day of May and the first day of October in any one year.

10. No person shall cast or throw into any stream or waters in the said district in which trout exist or have been liberated, nor shall allow to flow into or place in or near the bank or margin of such stream or waters, any sawdust or sawmill refuse, lime, sheep-dip, flax-mill refuse, or any other matter or liquid that is noxious, poisonous, or injurious to fish: Provided that nothing herein contained shall extend to or prohibit the depositing in any such stream or waters of debris from any mining claim.

11. No person shall fish for trout without a license, and every person fishing in such waters shall, on demand of any fishery officer, constable, officer of the said society, or person producing a license to fish issued in New Zealand, give his true name and place of residence, either permanent or for the time being, and on the like demand produce and show to such fishery officer, constable, officer of the said society, or person producing a license as aforesaid, his license to fish, and the contents of his creel, bag, or other receptacle for carrying fish, and also the bait or lure used or intended to be used by him for taking, catching, or killing such trout.

12. Every trout not exceeding 8 in. in length from tip of nose to tip of tail taken or caught by any person shall immediately be returned alive, with as little damage or hurt as possible, into the water from which the same has been taken.

13. No hand-line, night-line, or crossline fishing, stroke-hauling, trimmer, or any other unsportsmanlike device shall be used for the purpose of taking or attempting to take, catch, kill, or capture trout; nor shall any of the hereinbefore-mentioned permitted baits or lures be prepared or used with any medicated or chemical preparation whatever.

14. Except as provided in Regulation 6 no person shall fish with or use any net or engine, instrument, or device of any kind, whatever for taking or attempting to take trout in any lake, river, or stream within the said district, or at the mouth or entrance of any such lake, river, or stream. Any trout taken by such net or other means shall immediately be returned alive into the water from which the same is taken.
