Commonage.

All commons heretofore or hereafter to be proclaimed are, subject to the provisions of this Act, to be dealt with in the same manner as other portions of the areas in which they are included on the coloured lithographed county maps.

The managers of commons are appointed by the Governor in Council. They have power to distrain any cattle trespassing on the common under their management, and are to be taken to be occupiers of the common within the meaning of any Impounding Act, and shall be deemed to be the owners within the meaning of "The Rabbit Suppression Act 1880," or any Act amending the same; but nothing shall prevent the exercise of the powers conferred by this Act with respect to the leasing or licensing of any land comprised in any common.
