    veyance of sea-water to salt-pans for the manufacture of
    salt, as shown on the plan marked M.D. 1450, and deposited
    in the office of the Marine Department as aforesaid.

  2. In consideration of the concessions and privileges
    granted by this Order in Council, the said Henry Sankey
    shall, on being supplied with a copy thereof, pay to the

  3. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by or under

    charge, or part with any such right, power, or privilege
    without the previous written consent of the Minister first

    time resumed and the license hereby granted revoked by the
    Governor, and the said Henry Sankey may be required to
    remove the pipes or other erections used in connection there-
    with from the foreshore, and land below low-water mark, at
    his own cost, without payment of any compensation what-
    ever, on giving to the said Henry Sankey three calendar
    months' previous notice in writing. Notice of such re-
    sumption and revocation or otherwise under this condition
    shall be sufficient if given by the Minister, and delivered
    at or posted to the last known address of the said Henry

    then and in any of the said cases this Order in Council and
    every license, right, power, or privilege may be revoked and
    determined by the Governor in Council without any notice
    to the said Henry Sankey or other proceeding whatsoever;
    and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order
    in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient
    notice to the said Henry Sankey, and to all persons con-
    cerned or interested, that this Order in Council and the
    license, rights, and privileges thereby granted and conferred
    have been revoked and determined; and upon such revoca-
    tion the Minister may cause the said pipes or other erections
    used in connection therewith to be removed, and may re-
    cover the cost incurred by any such removal from the said
    Henry Sankey, his heirs, executors, administrators, or
    assigns.

    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 direc-
    tion of such Minister.
