Article 3
The value of the interest of any person for the time being entitled to turn out animals on a common shall for the purposes of the Act be ascertained as follows:—
Where the interests of the several persons for the time being entitled to turn out animals on a common are defined by numbers or stints, the value of the interest of each such person shall be such numbers or stints.
Where the several persons for the time being entitled to turn out animals on a common are so entitled by reason of the occupation of land and the interests of such persons are not defined by numbers or stints then the value of the interest of each such person shall be measured by the acreage of the land by reason of the occupation of which he is so entitled, such acreage being taken to the nearest acre, no account being taken of half an acre.
In calculating the acreage of land for the purpose of sub-paragraph (i) above, areas of rough grazing shall be deemed to comprise one quarter only of the actual acreage thereof taken to the nearest acre, no account being taken of half an acre.
In any other case, in such manner as the Minister shall think proper.
