(2.) Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, any person in bona fide occupation of any land, and any one son or daughter of such person, may take or kill opossums on that land without a license (but subject to all other restrictions and conditions imposed by or under the said Act or these regulations) during any open season in which opossums may lawfulty be taken or killed under a license in the district within the boundaries of which such land is situated. The skins of all opossums so killed may be disposed of only as provided by regulation 7 hereof.

No person shall accept delivery of such skins unless accompanied by such statement and certificate. Any person committing a breach of this regulation shall for every such offence be liable to a penalty not exceeding £2O. Such statement shall be made in duplicate, one copy to accompany the skins forwarded for sale, and the other copy to be forwarded direct to the Under-Secretary, Department of Internal Affairs:

This regulation shall also apply to skins which are not sold to or by a licensed broker, except that the original copy of the statement shall be forwarded with the skins to the stamping officer. 9. No person or firm shall act as a broker under these regulations without first taking out an.annual license, to be called a broker’s license, in the form No. 3 in the First Schedule hereto.

12. For the purpose of complying with these regulations, the licensed broker shall notify the officer appointed to stamp skins and collect royalty from brokers at least three days before any auction sale of skins takes place ; and in case of a private sale, such notification must be given immediately the sale is effected.

Every licensed broker shall keep a register in the form No. 5 in the First Schedule hereto, and shall on receipt of any opossum-skins enter therein the correct name, address, and occupation of each company, firm, or person from whom such skins are obtained for sale, indicating the locality where the opossums were taken and to whom such skins are sold. Such register shall be produced for inspection on demand by any constable, officer of an acclimatization society, ranger, or authorized officer.

14. Every licensed broker shall, immediately the sale of any opossum -skins takes place, forward to the secretary of the acclimatization society in whose district the opossums were taken a catalogue of such sale, giving the names of the sellers and buyers ; and, immediately after the last day of each month, shall forward to the Under-Secretary, Department of

Internal Affairs, a certified copy of the entries made during the month in the register referred to in regulation 13, noting thereon the number of opossum-skins then in his possession. 15.

It shall be the duty of such authorized officer to have the said skin stamped with the appropriate official mark immediately such royalty is paid. 17. All opossum-skins in the possession of any person shall, on demand by any constable, officer of an acclimatization society, ranger, or authorized officer, be produced for inspection ; and any person illegally in possession of skins is liable, on conviction, to a fine of £lO, and to a further fine of £5 for each skin found in his possession, and such skins shall be forfeited to and become the property of the Crown. 18. No person shall at any time have possession of any opossum-skin which does not bear an official mark thereon : provided, however, that it shall not be a breach of this regulation to have possession of any such skin (a.) Within one month from the date on which the same was taken, if the same is lawfully taken in any of the places mentioned in regulation 25 ; or (b.) At any time within one month from the close of the open season, if the same is lawfully taken during the open season in any other place in New Zealand ; or (c.) At any time within one month from the date of importation if the same is imported ; and provided also that the Under-Secretary, Department of Internal Affairs, may extend such periods subject to such conditions as he thinks fit to impose. 19.

All opossum-skins imported into the Dominion, other than those in a manufactured state, must be stamped by an authorized officer with the appropriate official mark as proof of importation ; and every person importing skins must, within three days after the receipt of such skins, notify that officer. No royalty shall be payable in respect of any such skins : Provided that no opossum-skins imported into the Dominion shall be disposed of for gain unless they are sold in the manner provided by regulation 7 and have been stamped with the appropriate official mark to indicate that royalty has been paid. 21.
