the license so expired upon payment of the
rent provided in these Regulations.

69. Every annual pasturage licence shall
    be in the form set forth in the Schedule D.
    to the Waste Lands Regulations, and shall be
    transferable by indorsement in the form set
    forth in such Schedule, and such transfer
    shall be deemed to be complete upon notice
    of being duly given to the Waste Lands
    Board, and not before. A pasturage license
    shall entitle the holder thereof to the exclusive
    right of pasturage over the land specified
    therein upon the terms herein stated. Such
    license shall give no right to the soil or to the
    timber, and shall immediately determine over
    any land which may be reserved or declared
    open for sale under these Regulations. A
    reasonable right-of-way may be allowed
    through all pasturage runs, as well as free
    right of entry to miners for the purpose of
    mining or searching for gold.

XIV.—Timber.

70. Upon the application of any person
    desirous of cutting and removing timber from
    the Waste Lands of the Crown, it shall be lawful
    for the Waste Lands Board to issue a licence
    authorising him to do so.

71. Every timber-cutting licence for cutting
    or removing timber shall be issued for one
    month, or for one year, at the request of the
    person applying for the same; and a fee of
    ten shillings shall be paid upon every monthly
    licence, and of five pounds upon every yearly
    licence.

72. A licence shall entitle no one but the
    person named thereon to cut down the standing
    timber, but it will authorise him to employ
    any number of persons, during the term of
    the licence, to saw, split, or remove the timber
    so cut; and such licence shall not be
    transferable. A licence to cut timber shall extend
    only to the district named therein.

73. If any person duly licensed shall have
    established a sawpit for the purpose of sawing
    timber, no other person shall cut timber within
    fifty yards of such pit without consent of the
    person first occupying such sawpit: Provided
    that if the person establishing such pit shall
    not use the same, and shall not cut timber
    within such distance as aforesaid from the pit
    for twenty-eight consecutive days, it shall be
    lawful to any other holder of a licence to enter
    thereupon, and to cut timber as though such
    pit had not been established.

74. If any person shall, for the purpose of
    removing timber, have made a road upon land
    being the Waste Lands of the Crown and not
    being a highway, it shall not be lawful for
    any other person to use the same without the
    permission of the person making the same first
    obtained: Provided that if such road shall not
    be used at any time for ninety consecutive
    days, it shall be lawful for any holder of a
    licence at any time thereafter to use the same.

75. If any person holding a timber licence
    shall be proved before the Waste Lands Board
    to have offended against any regulations herein
    contained respecting timber, or to have wil-
    fully or negligently injured or destroyed by
    fire or otherwise any timber belonging to the
    Crown, such licence shall be immediately de-
    clared to be forfeited, and it shall be at the discretion of the Board to refuse to
    issue another timber licence to the same per-
    son.
