Superintendent and Provincial Council of any pro-
vince may from time to time make laws for constitut-
ing Harbour Boards, providing for the appointment
or election of such Boards, and for vesting certain
reserves in such Boards, and other purposes: And
whereas by the Ordinance of the Superintendent and
Provincial Council of the Province of Otago, passed
in the thirty-third Session of the said Council, in-
tituled "The Otago Harbour Ordinance, 1874," it is
provided that a Harbour Board shall be constituted
for the Harbour of Otago, and that the limits of the
said harbour shall be those which have been or may

yet be defined under or in pursuance of "The Marine
Act, 1867," or any amendment thereof: And
whereas a Harbour Board has been constituted in
pursuance of and in accordance with the provisions
of said before-recited Ordinance of the Superin-
tendent and Provincial Council of Otago: And
whereas amongst other provisions of the before-
recited Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand,

suance and exercise of the powers vested in me by
the said "Harbour Boards Act, 1870," do hereby
delegate to the Otago Harbour Board all the powers
vested in me and exercisable by me under "The
Marine Act, 1867," or any amendment thereof:
Provided always that copies of all rules, regulations,
or by-laws made under the said delegation shall be
transmitted to me for approval as provided for by
the aforesaid "Harbour Boards Act, 1870:" And
provided also that nothing herein contained shall be
construed to give to the said Harbour Board power
to levy dues on any goods passing over railway piers
now or hereafter to be erected by the Government
within the Harbour of Otago: And provided further

give to the said Harbour Board power to interfere
with or prevent the reclamation by the Provincial
Government of the said Province of Otago, of all or
any part of the land within the Harbour of Otago
which is now or hereafter may be vested in the
