    the dock without the consent of the Board, and upon
    such terms as the Board may determine.

  2. Ground-blocks and shores will be provided by
    the Board, and if any of them are allowed to go
    adrift, or be lost, or negligently or wilfully broken
    or damaged, the same shall be made good by the
    master or owner of the vessel occasioning the loss or
    damage. Any alteration of the position of the vessel
    in the dock, removal or taking out of block, whether
    at the request of the Dockmaster, master, or owner
    of the vessel, shall be at the sole risk of the master
    and owner of the vessel; and if it be necessary to

    enter, each pumping shall be an additional charge
    of five pounds.

  3. Every person who shall cut, destroy, or be
    guilty of wilful or negligent injury to any of the
    blocks, shores, machines, kilns, stoves, water-cisterns,

    appliances, or any material belonging to or about the
    dock, or shall throw heavy timber or other things

    any consideration to dock a vessel whilst there is on
    board of such vessel gunpowder or other explosive
    material, or any article which may be classed under
    “The Dangerous Goods Act, 1869,” or any amend-
    ment thereof; and any master or owner of any vessel
    who shall enter or offer to enter such vessel into the
    dock, whilst such vessel has on board of it gunpowder
    or other explosive material, or any article which may
    be classed under “The Dangerous Goods Act, 1869,”
    or any amendment thereof, shall be liable to a penalty
    of fifty pounds.

  6. The master or other person in charge of a
    vessel entering or leaving the dock, or whilst in the

    the master, officers, and crew and workmen thereof
    will be strictly required to adhere to the regulations
    of the Board. The harbour regulations for ports of

    of and read with, these by-laws.

    observe any of the provisions of sections 6, 9, 10, 12,
    13, 15, 17, 18, and 20 of the foregoing by-laws shall

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
twenty-ninth day of August, 1878.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the twelfth section of “The
Municipal Corporations Act, 1876,” it is
enacted that, in any case in which no sufficient
provision is made by the said Act, or in which, by any
misadventure or accident, anything is at any time
done after the time required by the said Act, or is
otherwise irregularly done in matter of form, the
Governor may, by Order in Council, gazetted and
publicly notified, from time to time make provision
for any such case, or may extend the time within
which anything is required to be done, or may
validate anything so done after the time required, or
so irregularly done in matter of form, so that the true
intent and purposes of the said Act may have effect:
And whereas the said borough is divided into wards,
but by misadventure a burgess roll for the whole
borough has been prepared instead of a separate bur-
gess roll for each ward, as is required by section forty-
nine of the said Act: And whereas in making such
burgess roll the provisions of Part III. (excepting
those of section forty-nine) of the said Act have been
complied with, and it is necessary to make provision
