Class 1st being ground of which the perpetual and exclusive right may be acquired, but the purchasers shall not have the right of enclosing it with a fence or erecting a headstone or monument thereon unless with the consent of the managers as stated in clause 7 of the “Cemetery Reserves Management Ordinance 1864.” A portion of land of this class shall be staked off in lots for single graves, 8 feet by 4 feet. These lots shall be sold: one lot for £1, two lots for £1 10s, and every lot after the first 10s.

3. Class 2nd being a portion of ground which has been set aside for the interment of such persons as are not purchasers of, and have not acquired a right to private ground. On ground of this class no monument or memorial whatever shall be allowed, and no grave shall under any circumstances be opened for any new interment sooner than after the expiry of five years from the time of the first or last interment as the case may be.
