twenty-fifth day of June, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-eight, certain Harbour and
Quarantine Regulations for the several ports and
harbours of the Colony of New Zealand were made

and amended:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by

Marine Act, 1867," doth hereby order that from and
after the date of publication hereof, clauses twenty-
nine, thirty-three, fifty-three, and sixty-six of the
said regulations shall respectively be amended as
hereinafter appears: -
Clause 29. In lieu of clause twenty-nine it is
provided that-
The master of every vessel shall anchor or moor
where the Harbourmaster or person deputed by him
may direct; and he shall not unmoor or quit the
anchorage, nor shall he haul his vessel alongside any
public pier, wharf, or jetty, without having previously
obtained permission from the Harbourmaster or his
deputy to do so; and any master offending against
this regulation shall be liable to a penalty not
exceeding five pounds.

provided that-
All masters or other persons in charge of vessels
are immediately to strike yards and masts, to have
their jib and spanker booms rigged close in, to moor

slack down or heave in cables or warps, to heave
ahead or astern, and to haul off from any pier,
wharf, or jetty when ordered by the Harbourmaster
or his deputy to do so; and whether they are
lying at anchor or moored anywhere within the
port, or are alongside of any pier, wharf, or jetty,
are on all occasions when ordered by the Harbour-
master or his deputy to do whatever the said
Harbourmaster or Deputy Harbourmaster may
consider necessary or expedient with a view to the
safety and interest of the whole shipping, and in
consideration of the state of the weather, the crowded
condition of the port or river, or any other circum-
stance; and any master offending against this
regulation shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding
twenty pounds.

Clause 53. In lieu of clause fifty-three it is pro-
vided that-
In the absence of any special regulations for any
stated wharf, the time allowed to vessels to occupy

additional fifty tons of the registered burthen of the
vessel. But it is provided that the Superintendent
may alter the time table given herein to suit the
special requirements of any particular port or wharf
by supplementary regulations which shall be binding
when made, the time table herein being only appli-
cable to any pier wharf or jetty for which no special
time table has been fixed by supplementary regu-
lations.

making use of abusive or improper language thereon
shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds.
