Nothing herein contained shall authorise any surveyor to enter upon any Native cultivation for the purpose of taking a road under the authority of this Act without the previous consent of the Governor in Council. A "Native cultivation," wherever the term is used in this Act, means any land regularly used by Natives for the growth of foodcrops for their own consumption. |
