trespass, and shall forfeit and pay for every such offence any sum not exceeding Five Pounds.

[Nothing herein contained shall prejudice the right of the Waste Land Board, or the Commissioner of Crown Lands, to proceed against such trespasser for the recovery of the penalty of Fifty Pounds imposed by the 76th clause of the Waste Land Regulations for the illegal occupation of Crown Lands.]

7. Any person who shall set fire to the herbage or grass upon the Crown Lands within the Hundred without the consent in writing of the Wardens, or a majority of them, previously obtained, shall forfeit and pay for every such offence any sum not exceeding Five Pounds; but such consent of the Wardens will not protect any person from the consequence of any loss or damage which may be sustained by any person by reason of the carelessness with which such burning of the Hundred may be performed.

8. Any person disturbing or harassing cattle depastured within the boundaries of the Hundred, shall forfeit and pay for every such offence any sum not exceeding Five Pounds; provided always that the holder of the depasturing license within the Hundred, or any person duly authorised in his behalf, may drive such cattle for the purpose of collecting such as may belong to him, and for the free and legitimate use of his right of pasturage within the Hundred; but in the event of its being necessary for such purpose to drive any cattle belonging to any other person to a greater distance than half a mile, the person so driving such cattle must take them to the nearest available stock-yard, and there separate his own from those of other persons, and return the latter to the place from which they were driven; and failing so to do will be liable to the penalty of any sum not exceeding Five Pounds for every such offence. Any person removing cattle beyond the boundary of the Hundred other than those belonging to him, or for the removal of which he shall have due authority, shall forfeit and pay for every such offence any sum not exceeding Five Pounds.

9. All or any of the acts authorised by these Bye-laws to be done by the Wardens, or a majority of them, may be done by any Ranger, or any person duly appointed by them, or authorised in that behalf.

10. Any person shooting cattle on the Hundred without the consent in writing previously obtained of the Wardens, or a majority of them, shall be liable to a penalty of Ten Pounds.

The above Bye-laws were adopted by the Wardens of the South Tokomairiro Hundred, April 17th, 1865.
