WHEREAS by an Ordinance enacted by
the Lieutenant-Governor of New Zea-
land, with the advice and consent of the Legis-
lative Council thereof, Sess. 7, No. 8, intituled
"An Ordinance to amend the Customs Ordi-
nance, Sess. 1 No. 3, and the Customs
Amendment Ordinance, Sess. 8, No. 6," it is
amongst other thing enacted that it shall be
lawful for the Governor, from time to time, by
Proclamation, to appoint, and define proper
places within the several ports of the Colony to
be legal quays or landing places for the lading
and unlading of goods, and to appoint the
hours within which such goods shall be so
laden or unladen.
Now, therefore, I, the Governor, in pursu-
ance of the authority vested in me in that be-
half do hereby proclaim and declare that the
legal Quay or Landing-place at Port Victoria,
in the Province of Canterbury, shall be the
jetty on Norwich Quay at the end of Oxford
street, Lyttelton, as the said jetty is defined on
the maps of the late Canterbury Association;
and the legal Quay or Landing-place at the
Port of Akaroa, in the said Province, shall be
the beach end of Balona street and the
beach frontage of the General Government
Reserve, numbered $1 in red, as the same are
delineated on the map of the Town of Akaroa
authenticated by the Chief Surveyor of the said
Province, and that all goods shall be laden and
unladen at the said Quays or Landing-places,
and not elsewhere in the said Ports.
And I do further proclaim and declare that
at Port Victoria aforesaid, and at the Port of
Akaroa, in the Province of Canterbury afore-
said, goods shall be laden and unladen only
within the hours hereinafter specified and not
otherwise, viz:
Goods under Bond and entered by bill of

Provided always that nothing herein con-
tained shall prevent the lading or unlading of
any such goods at any other time or place at
either of the Ports Victoria and
Akaroa, with the permission of the principal
officer of Customs.
