11.—Warden to be Judge of Objections, &c.
The Warden shall in all cases be the sole judge of the validity of objections to the issue of any Certificate of Registration, and also of what is a “reasonable time” for the performance of any work when no fixed period is provided by these Regulations.
12.—Certificates may be cancelled.
If any Certificate shall have been obtained by misrepresentation, or if any of the prescribed conditions have not been duly complied with, the Warden may, upon proof thereof, cancel such Certificate, or make such other order thereon as may appear to be just or equitable.
13.—Neglect of Warden’s Orders.
Any person who shall neglect or refuse to comply with any written notice or order of the Warden, duly served, and in conformity with these Regulations, shall be liable to be convicted of a breach thereof and liable to the penalties imposed by the 101st section of the “Gold Fields Act, 1866.”
13.—Survey in absence of a Mining Surveyor.
Wherever it is required by these Regulations that a survey should be made, if there be no Mining Surveyor within the district, the Warden may authorise and appoint any capable person to make the necessary survey; and such survey shall, for all the purposes of the Regulations, be taken and accepted as, or in lieu of survey, by an appointed Mining Surveyor.
15.—Transfer of Claims, &c.
Any claim, right, or privilege held under these Regulations may be transferred or assigned; but where it is provided that any such claim, right, or privilege must originally be registered, the transfer or assignment thereof must also be registered.
16.—Suspension of Regulations.
If any portion of the Rules and Regulations of the Gold Field shall be deemed to be inapplicable to the requirements of any district, the Superintendent may, if he shall think fit, upon the receipt of a memorial to that effect, signed by holders of Miners’ Rights and Business Licenses residing in such district, suspend the operation of any regulation or section of a regulation, so far as such district is concerned, and may again renew the operation of such regulation or section, or may substitute others in lieu thereof.
