ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this
seventeenth day of October, 1876.
Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS by "The Marine Act, 1867," it is,
among other things, enacted, that the Governor
may fix the various rates of lighthouse dues, not ex-
ceeding those specified in the said Act, which shall
be payable at any port or ports within the colony, in
respect of all vessels arriving at and of all vessels
leaving such ports, by the master of every such
vessel, and such dues from time to time to alter:

at each of the ports specified in the Schedule, the

made leviable under and by virtue of the said recited
Orders in Council shall cease and determine:

port at which light dues are leviable, but at which

collection of the revenue, shall be paid at the port
of departure; and that any vessel from any place
