8. 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, subject to these regulations, be directed and deemed expedient by the Wharfinger or his deputy for the proper working of the wharf.

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

10. No goods or articles of any description which, in the opinion of the Wharfinger or his deputy, are likely to occasion damage to the wharf or buildings thereon shall be landed or discharged on such wharf, or be placed in the shed.

11. If at any time owners or consignees of any cargo or produce landed on the wharf or landing-place, or to be shipped therefrom, are notified that no storage-room is available in the sheds for the proper storage of such cargo or produce, and if any cargo or produce shall be permitted to remain on the wharf or landing-place for the convenience of the owner, consignee, or shippers thereof, then the Wharfinger shall not be responsible for any loss or damage that may accrue to any such cargo or produce, by the elements or otherwise, during the time it may so remain on the wharf: Provided always that the Wharfinger shall not be bound to find storage-room for such cargo or produce when no sufficient accommodation is available for that purpose either in the sheds or on the wharf.

12. No person taking any vehicle on the wharf, or using such vehicle or the tram provided on the wharf, shall allow the same to be propelled at a greater speed than a walking pace. Any person taking any vehicle, goods, or merchandise on the wharf shall use the tram, unless the article taken may be carried by hand. Any person using such tram shall have the same under control while in motion, and he shall stand by the same as long as it shall be at a standstill on the said wharf, and shall return the same without delay to the position he received it, or remove the tram or any vehicle to such wharf or position on the wharf as the Wharfinger or his deputy may direct. Any damage to tram or tramway, or loss occasioned by wilful neglect or disobedience to orders given, shall be made good at the cost of persons using same. No person shall be allowed to take any bicycle or tricycle upon the said wharf except for shipment or by the permission of the Wharfinger or his deputy.

No person shall disobey the orders of the Wharfinger or his deputy when acting in the due performance of their duty, nor in any way obstruct the traffic on the wharf, nor make use of any improper or abusive language thereon; nor shall any fire or naked lights be used on the wharf or in the shed.

14. All goods shall be landed on the aforesaid wharf or landing-place, or brought thereon for shipment, and shall be placed as the Wharfinger or his deputy may direct; and no goods or any articles are to be placed on the wharf or in the shed so as to be an impediment to the approaches, or an obstacle to the removal of other goods from the wharf or shed, or so as to encumber the mooring posts or rings on such wharf.

15. No person or persons shall deposit goods of any description upon lands vested in the Council adjacent to the wharf, except such goods as may be landed on the old wharf for transmission to the new wharf for shipment, or vice versâ.

16. In the construction of the foregoing regulations the terms and expressions following shall have the meanings hereinafter assigned to them: "Wharfinger" shall mean

and include the person appointed by the Raglan County Council for the due management of the wharf and sheds; and such Wharfinger is the person appointed by the said Council to collect and receive all dues payable under this Order in Council.

17. If any person fails, refuses, or neglects to do anything required by these regulations, or in any manner obstructs, impedes, or interferes with the doing of anything enjoined or authorised to be done, or wilfully does anything prohibited by these regulations, every such person in any case so offending shall be liable to forfeit and pay a penalty not exceeding £5 sterling.
