2.—Rules relating to the Bush Land

2.—Rules relating to the Bush Land.

(1).The bush land to be allotted to individuals, or to associations of two or more, as the runanga may agree.
(2).The corners of the bush allotments to be fixed by marked trees; these boundaries to be considered inviolate, and no alteration afterwards made in them.
(3).A shareholder having either sold bush to the Pakehas, or cut it on his own account, to retain the land from which the timber has been removed.
(4).One person may retain two or more of such parcels, provided they do not, in the aggregate, exceed what the runanga may consider his fair share; such award to be reckoned against him in the apportionment of the remaining bush land.
(5).Small reserves of bush to be set apart for church purposes.
