the Governor in Council may authorize any person
to construct harbour works (other than the reclama-
tion of land from the sea in any harbour, or the con-
struction of any graving dock or breakwater 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 :

And whereas Messrs. Wigmore and Tolerton, of
Whangaroa, desire to build a wharf in Whangaroa
Harbour, a place where no Harbour Board is in
existence :

Now, therefore, the Governor of the Colony of
New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent of

   officers in the Government service, acting in the
   execution of their duty, shall at all times have free

4. That any person authorized by the Minister
   having charge of the Marine Department, or any
   officer acting with his approval, 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 his leaving at the last known address
   of Messrs. Wigmore and Tolerton a notice in writing
   of any defect or want of repair in such wharf or
   buildings, requiring them, within a reasonable time to
