present Majesty, intituled, "An Act to consolidate
and amend the Law relating to Ports, Harbors, and
Shipping in the colony of Victoria," it is amongst
other things enacted, that it shall be lawful for the
Lieutenant Governor of the said colony, with the
advice of the Executive Council thereof, by procla-
mation published in the Government Gazette, from
time to time to define the limits and boundaries of
ports in the said colony, and to frame rules for the
governance and preservation of the said ports res-
pectively, and for the regulation of shipping in the
same, and of pilots, and from time to time to alter,
amend, or repeal such rules and substitute others in
their stead: And whereas by a Proclamation bearing
date the seventeenth day of November, in the year One
thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, the Governor
of the said Colony, with the advice of the Executive
Council thereof, in pursuance of the powers vested
in him as aforesaid, did define the limits and boun-
daries of certain Ports in the said Colony, and did
proclaim and declare that certain rules and regulations
therein specified for the governance and preservation
of the said Ports, and for the regulation of shipping in
the same, should be substituted for other rules and
regulations previously in force: Now I, Sir Charles
Henry Darling, the Governor of Victoria, with the
advice of the Executive Council, do hereby declare that
the following shall be added to the rules and regula-
tions contained in the Proclamation above referred
to, viz.:-

"The Government take no charge of vessels or
boats while lying within any Port; their security and
safety, whether at an anchor or moored alongside any
pier or jetty, is at the risk of the owners."

the Governor, or Governor in Council, by the said
Act, subject to such regulations as he might think
fit, and might from time to time rescind such delega-
