sixteenth day of September, 1879.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the sixteenth, seventeenth, and
eighteenth sections of "The Harbours Act,
1878," it is enacted that the Governor in Council
may authorize any person to construct harbour works
(other than the reclamation of land from the sea or
any harbour, or the construction of any graving dock,
dock, or breakwater in any harbour or in the sea) in
any harbour where no Harbour Board is in existence:
And whereas by the one hundred and fifty-second sec-
tion of the said Act it is enacted that, where it shall
appear to the Governor in Council that any harbour
works are required for the use, benefit, or convenience
of the public within a harbour under the control of a
Harbour Board, and that such Board cannot conve-
niently execute or carry out such works, then, and in
any such case, the Governor in Council may exercise
all or any of the powers vested in him by the said
sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth sections of the
said Act:

And whereas Christopher Atwell Harris, of the
City of Auckland, desires to build a wharf in Auck-
land Harbour, and the Auckland Harbour Board
cannot conveniently execute or carry out such work;
and it having been made to appear to the Governor
in Council that the said work will not be or tend to
the injury of navigation, or interfere with or injure
any harbour works already constructed by the Board,
or under its control, or that may be in progress:

Now, therefore, the Governor of the Colony of
New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent of
the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby
authorize the said Christopher Atwell Harris to build,
opposite Allotment number thirty of the reclaimed
land, Customhouse Street West, for the use and bene-
fit of the public, a wharf in accordance with the plans
and specification marked M.D. 286, and deposited in
the office of the Marine Department, on the follow-
ing conditions, that is to say,-

That the right hereby conferred shall not exceed
the period of fourteen years.
That it shall be lawful for the said Christopher
Atwell Harris to levy wharfage on all goods landed
or shipped from the said wharf at a rate not to
exceed two shillings per ton weight or measurement:
Provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall authorize the said Christopher Atwell Harris to
charge with wharfage—

Any stores or goods required for the use of Her
Majesty's naval or military forces, or for any
ship in the naval service of any Foreign
Power:
Goods of or for the service of Her Majesty in
the colony:
Any goods under seizure by officers of revenue:
The baggage of any person in the service of Her
Majesty whilst travelling on duty.
That the public shall have free right of access to the
said wharf from Customhouse Street West, the right
of way hereby reserved being not less than twelve
feet wide.
The rights and powers conferred under or by this
Order in Council may be resumed at any time by the
Governor on giving to the said Christopher Atwell
Harris six months' previous notice of his intention so
to do.

Clerk of the Executive Council.

expedient to change the purpose of such reserves or
any part thereof from the purpose or presumed pur-
pose for which it was set apart to any other purpose,
or if it shall, in the opinion of the Governor, be
expedient to exchange any of the land comprised in
such reserve for other land of equal value, to be
