WHEREAS, there being no Harbour Board empowered
to grant the license hereinafter mentioned, James
R. Thomson, of Half-moon Bay, Stewart Island (hereinafter
called "the licensee"), has applied to the Governor in
Council for a license under "The Harbours Act Amend-
ment Act, 1883" (hereinafter called "the said Act"), to
occupy a part of the foreshore, and the land below low-water
mark immediately contiguous to such foreshore, in order
to erect and maintain thereon sheds, jetty, and boat-slip
in Half-moon Bay, Stewart Island; and, in accordance with
the one hundred and fifty-sixth section of "The Harbours
Act, 1878," has deposited a plan in the office of the Marine
Department at Wellington (marked M.D. 2127), showing
the place in the said bay where it is intended to erect such
sheds, jetty, and boat-slip, and the area of foreshore or
land below low-water mark intended to be occupied for
such purpose: And whereas it has been made to appear
to the Governor in Council that the proposed work will
not be or tend to the injury of navigation; and the said
plan has, prior to the making of this Order in Council, been
approved by the Governor in Council: And whereas it is
expedient that a license under the said Act, for the purpose
aforesaid, should be granted and issued to the licensee on
the terms and conditions hereinafter expressed:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Administrator of the
Government of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and
exercise of the power and authority vested in him by the said
Act, and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council
of the said colony, doth hereby approve of the purpose or ob-
ject for which the said license is required by the licensee as
aforesaid, and in further pursuance and exercise of the said
power and authority, and with the like advice and consent as
aforesaid, doth hereby license and permit the licensee to use
and occupy that part of the foreshore and of the land below
low-water mark immediately contiguous thereto which is
particularly shown and delineated on the plan so deposited
as aforesaid, for the purpose of constructing or erecting
thereon sheds, jetty, and boat-slip; such license to be held
and enjoyed by the licensee upon and subject to the follow-
ing terms and conditions, that is to say:—

1. In these conditions the term "Minister" means the
   Minister having charge of the Marine Department, as de-
   fined by "The Shipping and Seamen's Act, 1877," and in-
   cludes any officer, person, or authority acting by or under
   the direction of such Minister.

2. The concessions and privileges conferred by this Order
   in Council shall extend and apply only to the part of the
   foreshore and of the land below low-water mark shown on
   the said plan marked M.D. 2127.

3. In consideration of the concessions and privileges
   granted by this Order in Council, the licensee shall pay to

   eight hundred and ninety-seven.

4. That the rights, powers, and privileges conferred by
   this Order in Council shall continue in force for fourteen
   years, computed from the date of this Order in Council,
   unless in the meantime such rights, powers, and privileges
   shall be altered, modified, or revoked by competent au-
   thority; and the licensee shall not assign, charge, or part
   with any such right, power, or privilege without the pre-
   vious written consent of the Minister first obtained.

5. That the said rights, powers, and privileges may be at
   any time resumed by the Governor, and the licensee may be
   required to remove the shed at his own cost, without pay-
   ment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the licensee
   three calendar months' previous notice in writing. Any
   such notice shall be sufficient if given by the Minister, and
   delivered at or posted to the last known address of the
   licensee in New Zealand,

6. The licensee shall be liable for any injury which may
   be sustained by any vessel or boat in passing the shed or by
   contact with it, and which may be occasioned by any default
   or neglect on his part.

7. In case the licensee shall—
   (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions
   hereinbefore set forth, or any of them
   (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said shed for a period of
   thirty days;
   (3.) Fail to pay the sums specified in clause three of
   these conditions; or
   (4.) Become bankrupt, or be in any manner brought
   under the operation of any law in force for the
   time being relating to bankruptcy,
   then and in any of the said cases this Order in Council, and
   every right, power, or privilege, may be revoked and deter-
   mined by the Governor in Council without any notice to the
   licensee or other proceeding whatsoever; and publication
   in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council contain-
   ing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the licensee,
   and to all persons concerned or interested, that this Order
   in Council, and the rights and privileges thereby conferred,
   have been revoked and determined; and upon such revoca-
   tion the Minister may cause the said sheds, jetty, and
   boat-slip, and all other erections or buildings thereto
   belonging, to be removed, and may recover the cost incurred
   by any such removal from the licensee.

8. The erection of the sheds, jetty, and boat-slip shall be
   deemed to be an acceptance by the licensee of the con-
   ditions of this Order in Council.
