ADDITIONAL PORT AND HARBOUR REGULATIONS

IN REFERENCE TO THE NAVIGATION OF THE
RIVER YARRA-YARRA.

PROCLAMATION

By His Excellency Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished
Order of Saint Michael and Saint George,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over
the Colony of Victoria and its Dependencies,
and Vice-Admiral of the same, &c., &c., &c.

WHEREAS by "The Passengers, Harbours, and Naviga-
tion Statute, 1865," it is amongst other things enacted,
that the Governor in Council, by Proclamation pub-
lished in the Government Gazette, may from time to
time define the limits and boundaries of ports in
Victoria, and frame rules and regulations for the
governance and preservation of the said ports
respectively, and for the regulation of shipping in
the same; and also for the due protection and
preservation and good government and management
of all public wharfs, and may appoint officers to carry
out and enforce such rules and regulations; and
from time to time, in like manner, may alter, amend,
or repeal any such limits, boundaries, rules, and
regulations, and substitute others in their stead:

Now therefore, I, the Governor of Victoria, with the
advice of the Executive Council, do hereby proclaim
the following to be additional Port and Harbour
Regulations, and to be observed accordingly :-

1. All steamers going down the River Yarra-Yarra
   from the Melbourne Wharfs shall proceed at the time
   advertised.

2. All sailing vessels will be required, if possible,
   to swing at their berths at the Australian Wharf,
   and not, as hitherto, at the basin.

3. Steamers are to swing, if possible, at the recess
   now being excavated between Hanna's and Cook's
   Ferries; but in cases where it is necessary to pro-
   ceed to the basin for the purpose of swinging, notice
   must be given by the master, and the permission of
   the Harbour Master at Melbourne obtained before
   doing so.

4. Vessels coming up the river to the wharfs shall,
   when in the vicinity of the Queen's Wharf, give way
   to vessels proceeding down the river.

Given under my hand and the Seal of the
Colony, at Melbourne, this seventh day
of December, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-four,
and in the thirty-eighth year of Her
Majesty's reign.

(L.S.) G. F. BOWEN.
