hereinafter set forth:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the said colony, and in pursu-
ance and exercise of the power and authority vested in him

    in good order and repair; and shall at all times permit to be
    erected and exhibited therefrom any lights for the guidance
    of vessels, and shall maintain at its own cost any such lights:
    Provided that no new light shall be exhibited until after it
    has been approved by the Minister for the time being having
    charge of the Marine Department (hereinafter referred to as
    "the said Minister").
  4. That all dues and rates received on account of the said
    wharf by the Board shall be applied to keeping the said

    officer acting with his approval, may, at all reasonable times,
    enter upon the said wharf, and any buildings erected thereon
    or in connection therewith, and view the state of repair
    thereof; and that, upon his leaving at or posting to the last
    known address of the Board a notice in writing of any defect
    or want of repair in such wharf or buildings, requiring the
    Board within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to
    make good or repair the same, the said Board shall with all
    convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or such
    repairs to be made.
  6. That the Board shall not erect, or suffer to be erected,
    on the said wharf any building or structure whatever, except
    with the consent of the said Minister.
  7. That the Board shall keep a separate account of the
    receipts and expenditure on account of such wharf and pre-
    meses, and shall cause such account to be balanced to the
    thirty-first day of March in every year, and shall send a copy
    of such account when balanced to the said Minister, and
    shall supply any particulars in reference thereto as may be
    required by the said Minister, or any person acting with his
    approval.
  8. That the Board shall appoint all officers necessary for
    the working and management of the wharf.
  9. That nothing herein contained shall authorise the
    Board to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or
    inconsistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any
    regulation of the Commissioner of Trade and Customs, or
    with any provisions of "The Harbours Act, 1878," or its
    amendments, or any regulations thereunder.
  10. That the rights, powers, and privileges hereby con-
    ferred shall continue in force for fourteen years, computed

    or by virtue of the foregoing Order in Council may be at any
    time resumed by the Governor on giving to the Board six
    calendar months' notice in writing. Any such notice shall
    be sufficient if given by the Governor or the said Minister,
    or by any person acting under his or their instructions, and
    delivered at or posted to the last known address of the
    Board, its successors or assigns. No compensation or
    allowance shall be payable in such case.
  12. The Board shall be liable for any injury which may be
    caused at the said wharf to any vessel or boat through any
    default or neglect on the part of the Board.
  13. In case the Board shall—
    (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions herein-
    before set forth, or any of them; or
    (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said wharf for a period
    of thirty consecutive days, —
    then and in either of the said cases every right, power, or
    privilege hereby conferred may be revoked and determined
    by the Governor in Council without notice to the said
    Board or other proceeding whatsoever, and publication in
    the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing

    and to all persons concerned or interested, of the facts
    stated in such Order in Council.
