he be responsible for any loss or damage that may accrue to
such cargo by the elements or otherwise. -
No ballast, timber, coal, produce, or cargo of any
description shall be embarked or shipped, disembarked or

If at any time owners or consignees of any 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

All goods landed on any wharf or landing-place, or
brought thereon for shipment, are to be placed as the
Wharfinger or his deputy may direct, and no goods or other
articles shall be placed in any shed, or on any wharf or
