ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
third day of July, 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 con-
struction of any graving dock, 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 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 conditions as the Governor
in Council thinks fit, and the rights thereby conferred
shall only be granted for a limited period, not exceed-
ing in any case fourteen years, and may at any time
be altered, modified, or revoked:

And whereas the Mercury Bay Timber Company
(Limited), of Auckland, desires to build a wharf, for
the use, benefit, and convenience of the public, in
Whitianga Harbour, Mercury Bay, a place where no
Harbour Board is in existence, and the said Mercury
Bay Timber Company (Limited) has applied to the
Governor in Council for the issue of this order:

And whereas the said Mercury Bay Timber Com-
pany (Limited) has deposited plans of the said wharf
and the site thereof (marked M.D. 646 and 647) 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 Govern-
ment in Council that the proposed work will not be
or tend to the injury of navigation, the Adminis-
trator of the Government in Council hath this day
approved of the said deposited plans, with the modifi-
cation of the front line of the wharf, by shortening its
northern end from two hundred and sixty to two
hundred and twenty feet, 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
