ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this
twenty-ninth day of March, 1880.
Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS it is enacted by "The Shipping and
Seamen's Act, 1877," that the Governor may,
by Order in Council, fix the various rates of light-
house dues, not exceeding those specified in the
Eighth Schedule to the said Act, which shall be payable
at any port or ports within the colony in respect of
all ships arriving at, and of all ships leaving, such
ports, and in like manner from time to time to vary,
alter, or abolish such dues: And whereas it is
advisable to abolish all lighthouse dues at present in
force, and to substitute others in lieu thereof:
Now, therefore, His Excellency 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 abolish all lighthouse dues at
present in force, and doth also order that the light-
house dues which are specified in the third column of
the Schedule hereunto annexed shall be collected on
arrival at the ports specified in the first column of
the said Schedule; and, further, His Excellency the
Governor doth order that any vessel from any place
out of New Zealand first arriving at a port where
lighthouse dues are not charged for such voyage
shall, on arriving at any other port where lighthouse
dues are chargeable on vessels arriving from such
voyage, be charged the same rate as if she had arrived
at such port direct:
And, with the like advice and consent, His Excel-
lency the Governor doth further order that this
Order in Council shall come into force on and after
the first day of April next.
