ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this fifth day of July, 1887.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by “The Harbours Act Amendment Act, 1883” (hereinafter called the “said Act”), it is, among other things, enacted that, where the foreshore has been legally vested in any Harbour Board or other local governing body, it may from time to time, subject to the provisions of the one hundred and fifty-sixth section of “The Harbours Act, 1878,” license and permit any part of the foreshore to be used or occupied, inter alia, for the purpose of any local enterprise or object which the Governor in Council may approve: And whereas by the said Act it is also provided that every licensee shall, subject to the provisions of the said Act, have power to make and construct any necessary reclamation for the purpose of erecting on the foreshore comprised in his license, or upon any land below low-water mark immediately contiguous to such foreshore which shall be specified in such license, any building, structure, erection, or other works to enable him to obtain the full benefit of such license: And whereas by the said Act it is further provided that every such license shall be in writing under the seal of the Board or body granting the same, and may be for any period not exceeding fourteen years from the date thereof, and may prescribe a sum of money to be payable either at stated periods or on or before the granting thereof for the use of the foreshore so granted, and may prescribe any other terms or conditions, general or particular, to be observed or performed by the person to whom the same is granted: And whereas by the said Act it is also enacted that, in any case where there is no Harbour Board, or no Harbour Board empowered to grant any such license as aforesaid, the Governor in Council may in his discretion grant and issue a license for all or any of the purposes hereinbefore mentioned, and all the provisions of the said Act in respect of such licenses shall, mutatis mutandis, apply accordingly: And whereas James Darrow, of the Thames, has applied for a license under the said Act to occupy a part of the foreshore and the land below low-water mark immediately contiguous to such foreshore, in order to erect and maintain thereon a certain boom across the Kirikiri River, Thames, for the purpose of confining floating timber; and, in accordance with the one hundred and fifty-sixth section of “The Harbours Act, 1878,” has deposited a plan in the office of the Marine Department, at Wellington (marked M.D. 1337), showing the place in the said river where it is intended to erect such boom, and the area of foreshore or land below low-water mark intended to be occupied for such purposes: 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 plan has, prior to the making of this Order in Council, been approved by the Governor in Council: And whereas the foreshore of the Kirikiri River has not been legally vested in any Harbour Board, and it is expedient that a license should be granted and issued to the said James Darrow under the said Act, for the purposes aforesaid, on the terms and conditions hereinafter expressed:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, 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 said James Darrow 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 said James Darrow to use and occupy those parts of the foreshore and of the land below low-water mark immediately contiguous thereto which are particularly shown and delineated on the plan so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of constructing or erecting thereon a boom for confining any floating timber of any kind or description whatsoever belonging to or under the control of the said James Darrow, such license to be held and enjoyed by the said James Darrow 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 construction of a boom across the Kirikiri River, which is shown on the said plan marked M.D. 1337.

2. In consideration of the concessions and privileges granted by this Order in Council, James Darrow shall, on being supplied with a copy thereof, pay to the Minister the sum of five pounds, and thereafter an annual sum of two pounds, in respect of such boom, to be paid in two half-yearly instalments on the thirtieth day of June and the thirty-first day of December, the first of such half-yearly payments to date from the thirtieth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, and to be paid to the Minister on a copy of this Order in Council being supplied to James Darrow.

3. James Darrow shall cause the said boom to be so constructed as to provide that there shall be no unnecessary delay in allowing the passage of vessels and boats.

4. Should it at any time be made to appear to the Minister that the means of providing proper passage for vessels and boats are insufficient, he may, by a notice in writing left at or posted to the last known address of James Darrow, require him to provide such means as may be specified in such notice, and he shall thereupon, with all convenient speed, cause such means to be provided.

5. 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
