    such cargo by the elements or otherwise.

    description shall be embarked or shipped, disembarked or

    the wharf.

    shall be removed by the owner, agent, or consignee im-

    damage or loss that may accrue from any accident arising

    these regulations; and the Wharfinger shall not be respon-
    sible for any damage or loss which may accrue to such
    goods.

    placed in any such shed.

  5. 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

    that may accrue to any such cargo or produce, by the
    elements or otherwise, during the time they may so remain
    on the wharf: Provided always that the Wharfinger shall

    at a standstill on any such wharf, pier, or jetty.

  9. All persons in charge of vehicles shall be under the con-
    trol of the Wharfinger or his deputy, and such persons
    shall, immediately on being so ordered by the said Wharfinger
    or his deputy, remove such vehicle to any part of the wharf
    to which he may be directed, or shall, if so required by the
    said Wharfinger or his deputy, remove such vehicle alto-
    gether from the wharf. No person shall be allowed to take
