such wharf, the place in the said harbour where it is intended
to erect the same, and the area of foreshore or land
below low-water mark intended to be occupied for such
purpose: And whereas it has been made to appear to the
Governor in Council that the proposed work will not be or
tend to the injury of navigation; and the said plans have,
prior to the making of this Order in Council, been approved
by the Governor in Council: And whereas there is no Har-
bour Board having jurisdiction in the said harbour, and it
is expedient that a license should be granted and issued to
the Council under the said Act, for the purpose aforesaid
on the terms and conditions hereinafter expressed:

Now, therefore, the Governor of the Colony of New Zea-
land, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority
vested in him by the said Act, and with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby
approve of the purpose or object for which the said license
is required by the Council as aforesaid; and in further
pursuance and exercise of the said power and authority,
and with the like advice and consent as aforesaid, doth
hereby license and permit the Council to use and occupy
that part of the foreshore and of the land below low-
water mark immediately contiguous thereto which is par-
ticularly shown and delineated on the plans so deposited as
aforesaid, for the purpose of constructing or erecting thereon
a wharf, such license to be held and enjoyed by the Council
upon and subject to the following terms and conditions, that
is to say,–

1. The concessions and privileges conferred by this Order
   in Council shall extend and apply only to the parts of the
   foreshore and of the land below low-water mark necessary
   for the erection of such wharf, which are shown on the
   plan marked M.D. 1219.

2. That all Her Majesty’s subjects shall at all reasonable
   times, upon payment of the proper dues, have free and full

   the Government service, acting in the execution of their
   duty, shall at all times have free ingress, passage, and egress
   into, through, and out of the wharf without payment.

4. The Council shall maintain the above-mentioned wharf
   in good order and repair; and shall at all times exhibit
   therefrom, and maintain at its own cost, suitable and neces-
   sary lights for the guidance of vessels: Provided that no
   light shall be exhibited until after it has been approved of
   by the Minister.

5. Any person authorized by the Minister may, at all
   reasonable times, enter upon the said wharf and view the state
   of repairs thereof; and that, upon such Minister leaving at
   or posting to the last known address of the Council a notice
   in writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharf,
   requiring it, within a reasonable time to be therein pre-
   scribed, to repair the same, it shall with all convenient
   speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to
   be made.

6. That nothing herein contained shall authorize the
   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 Cus-

   high-water mark, or at such place as may be approved of by
   the Minister or by a person appointed by the Minister for
   that purpose.

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; and
   the Council shall not assign, charge, or part with any such
   right, power, or privilege without the previous written con-
   sent of the Minister first obtained.

9. That the said rights, powers, and privileges may be
   at any time resumed by the Governor, without payment
   of any compensation whatever, on giving to the Council
   six calendar months’ previous notice in writing. Any such
   notice shall be sufficient if given by the Minister, and
   delivered at or posted to the last known address of the
   Council.

10. The Council shall be liable for any injury which the
    said wharf may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through
    any default or neglect on its part.

11. In case the Council shall—
    (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions herein-
    before set forth, or any of them; or
    (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said wharf;
    then and in either of the said cases this Order in Council, and
    every right, power, or privilege, may be revoked and deter-
    mined by the Governor in Council without any notice to
    the Council or other proceeding whatsoever, and publication
    in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council contain-
    ing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the Council,
    and to all persons concerned or interested, that this Order
    in Council, and the rights and privileges thereby conferred,
    have been revoked and determined.

12. In these conditions the term “Minister” means the
    Minister having charge of the Marine Department, as defined
    by “The Shipping and Seamen’s Act, 1877,” and includes
    any officer, person, or authority acting by or under the
    direction of such Minister.
