268 FORESTRY IN LITHUANIA. 



forest warders, nor demand too rnucli assist- 

 ance from government farms, in order that all the 

 labour may be done according to correct time. 



372. The foresters and under foresters may send the 



forest warders with their produce to market ; 

 but not with more than six quarters of grain during 

 the whole winter. 



373. The forest warders are under the immediate and 



full control of the foresters and under foresters, 

 and are bound to guard the forests, and to ride 

 about them continually, and to execute their 

 superior's commands without fail ; and, as the 

 foresters and under foresters are responsible for 

 the neglect of the warders, they are at liberty 

 to inflict slight fines on the latter, and in case of 

 greater offences, to inflict corporal punishment, with 

 permission of the Palata of Imperial domains, 

 and in case of unfitness, to demand their expul- 

 sion from the service. 



374. The Palata of Imperial domains requires the 



government land surveyors in preparing the plans, 

 to suggest the most suitable track to be allotted to 

 the forest servants, warders, and inspectors ; these 

 plans are laid before the Palata, who again refers 

 them for sanction to the fourth department of Im- 

 perial domains. The proprietors for the time being 

 of the government farms, or their managers, are to 

 allow the forest inspectors as many workmen as 

 are allowed to other government peasants : 

 which allowance cannot be altered without the 

 sanction of the Palata. 



375. The forest inspectors wear brass badges on their 



coats that they may be recognised, and that no 

 opposition may be offered to them in the execution of 

 their duties/
