ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this fifteenth
day of January, 1889.

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
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 jurisdiction
in the Harbour of Kaikoura: And whereas it is provided
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 dues
and rates to be charged for the use of the Kaikoura wharf
and good-shed (the management of which was by Order in
Council dated the second day of July, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-three, vested in the Kaikoura County
Council) were prescribed by Orders in Council dated the
seventh day of July, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-
five, and the eighth day of November, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-seven: And whereas it is expedient to
revoke such two last-named Orders in Council, and the dues,
rates, and regulations thereby fixed and made, and to pre-
scribe and make other dues, rates, and regulations in lieu
thereof:—

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of the said colony, and in pursuance and
exercise of the powers and authority granted 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 revoke the Orders in Council of the
seventh day of July, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-
five, and of the eighth day of November, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-seven, prescribing dues and rates to be
charged for the use of the Kaikoura wharf and goods-shed, and
making regulations for the same, and 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
goods-shed; and such dues and rates shall be applied to
keeping the above-mentioned wharf and goods-shed, and all
erections on the wharf, in good order and repair, as pro-
vided in the said Order in Council of the second day of July,
one thousand eight hundred and eighty-three.

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
Second Schedule hereto, and doth order that the same shall,
on and after the date of this Order in Council, apply to the
Port or Harbour of Kaikoura and to the wharf aforesaid.

REGULATIONS.

1. THE Owner or master of every vessel lying at wharf,
   pier, jetty, or landing-place shall, before commencing to dis-
   charge or land his cargo on any such wharf or landing-place,
   obtain the permission of the Wharfinger or his deputy so to
   do; and any cargo landed without such permission shall not
   be deemed to be in the custody of the Wharfinger, nor shall
   he be responsible for any loss or damage that may accrue to
   such cargo by the elements or otherwise.

2. No ballast, timber, coal, produce, or cargo of any
   description, shall be embarked or shipped, disembarked or
   unshipped, except at such times and places, and in such
   order and mode, as may be directed and deemed expedient
   by the Wharfinger or his deputy for the proper working of
   the wharf.

3. All goods of a dangerous or inflammable character
   shall be removed by the owner, agent, or consignee im-
   mediately on being landed, and such owner, agent, or con-
   signee failing to do so will be held responsible for any
   damage or loss that may accrue from any accident arising
   therefrom, in addition to the penalty provided for breach of
   these regulations; and the Wharfinger shall not be re-
   sponsible for any damage or loss which may accrue to such
   goods.

4. No goods or articles of any description which, in the
   opinion of the Wharfinger or his deputy, are likely to occa-
   sion damage to the wharf, landing-place, or shed shall be
   discharged or landed on any such wharf or landing-place, or
   placed in any such shed.

5. If at any time owners or consignees of any cargo or pro-
   duce landed on the wharf or landing-place, or to be shipped
   therefrom, are notified that no storage room is available in
   any of the sheds for the proper stowage of such cargo or pro-
   duce, and if any cargo or produce shall be permitted to re-
   main on the wharf or landing-place, for the convenience of
   the owners, consignees, or shippers thereof, then the
   Wharfinger shall not be responsible for any loss or damage
