regulating the anchoring, mooring, unmooring, and
removal of vessels in any port, and for regulating
the packing, landing, shipping, and deposit and
removal of gunpowder, and other explosive sub-
stances and compounds:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,

of New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the said colony, and
in exercise and in pursuance of the herein in part
recited power and authority, do hereby make the
following by-laws for the Port of Oamaru, that is

   or other explosive substances or compounds on
   board, shall first anchor with the Immigration
   Barracks bearing S.W. 3/4 W., and with Cape Wan-
   brow, not bearing to the eastward of S. E.: Pro-
   vided, however, that it shall be lawful for the
   Harbourmaster, if he shall think fit, to remove such
   vessel to an anchorage, the position of which is
   indicated by the following bearings, that is to say,-
   The north end of the breakwater bearing S.E.,
