    times, and upon payment of the proper dues, have free and
    full liberty to use the above-mentioned wharf, and of ingress
    and egress thereon.

  2. That Her Majesty, or the Governor, and all officers in

    at or posting to the last known address of the said Council
    a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such
    wharf or buildings, requiring the Council, within a reason-
    able time to be therein prescribed, to repair the same, the

    balanced to the Marine Department, and shall supply any
    particulars in reference thereto as may be required by the
    Marine Department.

  7. That nothing herein contained shall authorize the said
    Council 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 thereunder.

  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 altered, modified, or revoked.

    or by virtue of this Order in Council may be at any time

    calendar months’ previous notice in writing. Any such
    notice shall be sufficient if given by the Governor, or the
    Minister having charge of the Marine Department, or any
    person acting under his or their instructions, and delivered at
    the last known address of the said Council, their successors,
    administrators, or assigns. No compensation or allowance

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS it is provided by “The Harbours Act, 1878”
(hereinafter termed “the said Act”), that in harbours
where there is no Harbour Board the Governor in Council
shall have all the powers, functions, duties, and authorities
by such Act conferred upon Harbour Boards, and may
exercise the same under regulations to be made in manner
provided in section two hundred and twelve of the said Act:
And whereas there is no Harbour Board having jurisdic-
tion in the Harbour of Havelock: And whereas it is pro-
vided by section four of “The Harbours Act Amendment
Act, 1879,” that the power granted to the Governor in
Council by the seventeenth section of “The Harbours Act,
1878,” in respect of prescribing what dues and rates may be
charged on wharves vested in local bodies, may be exercised
from time to time as occasion may require, and shall not
be limited as in the said section is provided: And whereas

in the Pelorus Road Board):

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Colony of New Zealand, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Executive Council of the said colony, and in

to him by the said Act, “The Harbours Act Amendment
Act, 1879,” and of all other powers and authorities enabling
him in that behalf, doth hereby prescribe that the dues and
rates specified in the First Schedule hereto shall be charged
and taken, on and after the date of this Order in Council,
for the use of the said wharf; and such dues and rates shall
be applied to keeping the above-mentioned wharf and all
erections on the wharf in good order and repair, as provided
in the said Order in Council of the twenty-seventh day of
March, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five.

And His Excellency the Governor of the said colony, with
the like advice and consent, and in pursuance and exercise
of the power and authority granted to him by the said Act,
and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that
behalf, doth hereby make the regulations contained in the
