ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this

Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Shipping and Seamen's Act,
1877," it is enacted that there shall be paid to
all Receivers appointed under the said Act such fees,
not exceeding the amounts specified in the Sixth
Schedule to the said Act, as may from time to time
be directed by the Governor in Council: And
whereas it is expedient to fix such fees:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor in
Council doth hereby direct that there shall be paid
to all Receivers, in respect of the several matters
specified in the Schedule hereto, the fees which are
therein stated.

SCHEDULE.
FEES AND REMUNERATION OF RECEIVERS OF WRECK.

For every examination on oath instituted by a
Receiver with respect to any ship or boat which
may be or may have been in distress, a fee not
exceeding £1.

But so that in no case shall a larger fee than
£2 be charged for examinations taken in
respect of the same ship and the same occur-
rence, whatever may be the number of the
deponents.

For wreck taken by the Receiver into his custody, a
percentage of five per cent. upon the value thereof.

But so that in no case shall the whole amount
of percentage so payable exceed £20.

In cases where any services are rendered by a
Receiver in respect of any ship or boat in distress,
not being wreck, or in respect of the cargo or
other articles belonging thereto, the following fees
instead of a percentage, that is to say,—

If such ship or boat, with her cargo, equals or
exceeds in value £600, the sum of £2 for the
first, and the sum of £1 for every subsequent
day during which the Receiver is employed
on such service; but if such ship or boat, with
her cargo, is less in value than £600, one
moiety of the above-mentioned sum.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
first day of March, 1881.
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 the Hobson County Council (herein-
after referred to as "the County Council") desires
to build a wharf at Kaipara Harbour, a port where
no Harbour Board is in existence; and it having

been made to appear to the Governor in Council that
the said works will not be or tend to the injury of
navigation:

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 County Council to build at Matakohe,
Kaipara, for the use and benefit of the public, a
wharf in accordance with the plans marked M.D.
459 and 460, and deposited in the office of the Marine
Engineer to the Minister having charge of the Marine
Department, dated the eighth day of February, one
thousand eight hundred and eighty-one, and marked
M. 81/286, and on the following 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 County Council to
levy wharfage on all goods landed or shipped from
the said wharf, at such rates as may be from time to
time approved of by His Excellency the Governor:
Provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall authorize the County Council 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:

And goods under seizure by officers of revenue:

The baggage of any person in the service of
Her Majesty whilst travelling on duty.

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 County Council
twelve months' notice of his intention so to do, with-
out payment of any compensation whatever.
