ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
fifteenth day of December, 1882.

Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE
GOVERNMENT IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the sixteenth section of "The
Harbours Act, 1878," it is enacted that in
any harbour where no Harbour Board is in existence
the Governor in Council may authorize any person
to construct harbour works (other than the reclama-
tion of land from the sea, or any harbour, or the
construction of any graving dock, dock, or break-
water in any harbour or in the sea), and to use and
occupy such part of the foreshore, or of any tidal
land or tidal waters, as may be necessary for the
construction or use of such harbour works in any
harbour where no Harbour Board is in existence:
And whereas by the seventeenth section of the said
Act it is also enacted that every such Order in
Council shall be made upon such terms and con-
ditions as the Governor in Council thinks fit, and
the rights thereby conferred shall only be granted
for a limited period, not exceeding in any case
fourteen years, and may at any time be altered,
modified, or revoked: And whereas by the one
hundred and fifty-second section of the said Act it is
further 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 con-
veniently execute or carry out such works, then, and
in any such case, the Governor in Council may exer-
cise the powers vested in him by the sixteenth, seven-
teenth, and eighteenth sections of the said Act:
And whereas William Robert Williams desires to
build a wharf, for the use, benefit, and convenience
of the public, in Wellington Harbour, which harbour
is within the control of the Wellington Harbour
Board; but the said Board cannot conveniently
execute or carry out such work; and the said Wil-
liam Robert Williams has applied to the Governor
in Council for the issue of this order:
And whereas the said William Robert Williams
has deposited plans of the said wharf (marked M.D.
710 and 711) at the office of the Marine Department
at Wellington, in the manner prescribed by the one
hundred and fifty-sixth section of the said Act, and,
it having been made to appear to the Administrator
of the Government in Council that the proposed
work will not be or tend to the injury of naviga-
tion, the Administrator of the Government in Council
hath this day approved of the said deposited plans,
subject to the modification noted on plan marked
M.D. 711, and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Order in Council:
Now, therefore, the Administrator of the Govern-
ment of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance
and exercise of the power and authority vested in

him by the said Act, and by and with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council of the said colony,
doth hereby authorize the said William Robert Wil-
liams to build, in Evans's Bay, Wellington Harbour,
for the use, benefit, and convenience of the public,
a wharf, in accordance with the said plan marked
M.D. 711, and in the position shown on the said plan
marked M.D. 710, and to use and occupy such
portion of the foreshore or of any tidal land or tidal
water as may be necessary for the construction and
use of such wharf, subject to the following condi-
tions, that is to say,—

1. That all persons shall, at all reasonable times,
   either in the daytime or at night, have free and full
   liberty to use the above-mentioned wharf, after the
   same shall have been completed in accordance with
   the said plans, and to have ingress to and upon the
   said wharf, and egress therefrom, and regress thereto,
   as occasion may require.

2. That every person, authority, or thing exempt
   from harbour dues under the one hundred and thirty-
   second section of the said Act shall also be exempt
   from all dues or payments in respect of the said
   wharf or the use thereof.

3. That the said William Robert Williams shall
   maintain and keep the above-mentioned wharf and all
   erections thereon in good order and repair, and
   shall at all times permit to be erected and exhibited
   therefrom any lights for the guidance of vessels, and
   shall maintain at his own cost any such lights:
   Provided that no light shall be exhibited until after
   it has been approved of by the Minister.

4. That any person authorized by the Minister may
   at all reasonable times enter upon the said wharf and
   any buildings erected thereon, and view the state of
   repairs thereof; and that, upon such Minister leaving
   at the last known address of the said William
   Robert Williams a notice in writing of any defect or
   want of repair in such wharf or buildings, requiring
   the said William Robert Williams, within a reasonable
   time to be therein prescribed, to repair the same,
   the said William Robert Williams shall, with all con-
   venient speed, cause such defect to be removed or
   such repairs to be made.

5. That the said William Robert Williams will not
   erect or suffer to be erected on the said wharf any
   building or structure whatever, except with the con-
   sent of the Minister.

6. That nothing herein contained shall authorize
   the said William Robert Williams to do or cause to
   be done anything repugnant to or inconsistent with
   any law relating to the Customs, or any regulation
   of the Commissioner of Trade and Customs, or with
   any provisions of "The Harbours Act, 1878," or its
   amendments, or any regulations made thereunder,
   and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

7. That the ballast of all vessels loading at the
   said wharf shall be taken away by the said William
   Robert Williams and deposited above high-water
   mark, or at such place as may be approved of by
   the Wellington Harbour Board.

8. That the rights, powers, and privileges conferred
   by this Order in Council shall continue in force for
   fourteen years, computed from the date of this Order
   in Council, unless in the meantime such rights,
   powers, and privileges shall be altered, modified, or
   revoked by competent authority.

9. That the rights, powers, and privileges conferred
   under or by virtue of this Order in Council may be
   at any time resumed by the Governor without pay-
   ment of any compensation whatever, on giving to
   the said William Robert Williams six calendar
   months' previous notice in writing. Any such notice
   shall be sufficient if given by the Minister, and de-
   livered at the last known address of the said William
   Robert Williams.
