CONDITIONS.

   Colonial Government, and men-of-war of other
   nations will be admitted to repair in the Fitzroy
   Dock, Sydney Harbor, free of any Dock dues
   or rates, but they will be required to repay all
   actual expenditure of stores, wages, and
   material.

2. All other vessels will be liable to a mini-
   mum Dock rate of 6d. per ton, per diem, if of
   1,500 tons register or upwards, and an addi-
   tional 1/4th of a penny per ton, for every decrease
   of 50 tons or portion of 50 tons down to a
   maximum rate of 9d. per ton for a vessel of
   300 tons, and all below, as set forth in the
   scale attached hereto.

3. Double rates will be charged for the day
   of docking.

4. The dock dues will include and cover the
   cost of pumping, shoreing, wedges, and block-
   ing, and the cost of all labor connected with
   opening and closing the Dock, and all incidental
   labor connected with the actual operation of
   docking a vessel.

5. The Government will not undertake the
   repairs of a vessel, and all parties availing
   themselves of the use of the Dock will be re-
   quired to make their own arrangements for this
   service, and provide all necessary labour and
   material for the same.

6. The Government will not hold them-
   selves responsible for any accident occuring to
   a vessel whilst docking, undocking, or in dock.

   vessel, whilst in dock, will be required strictly
   to adhere to the regulations of the Establish-
   ment.

   after making fast to any buoy or bollard of the
   mouth of the Dock for the purpose of entering,

   superintending the docking or undocking of the
   vessel.

   Establishments will be permitted to avail them-
   selves of any portion of the machinery of the
   Dockyard workshops on payment of a rate per

   quirements of a vessel in dock. These charges
   will be in addition to Dock dues, and in accord-
   ance with the rates mentioned in the subjoined
   Schedule.

    permitted to employ thereat such skilled labor
    as may be deemed by them requisite, but the
