REGULATIONS.

1. THE owner or master of every vessel lying at wharf, pier, jetty, or landing-place shall, before commencing to discharge or land his cargo on any such wharf or landing-place, obtain the permission of the Wharfinger or his deputy so to do; and any cargo landed without such permission shall not be deemed to be in the custody of the Wharfinger, nor shall he be responsible for any loss or damage that may accrue to such cargo by the elements or otherwise.

2. 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 be directed and deemed expedient by the Wharfinger or his deputy for the proper working of the wharf.

3. 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 will be held responsible for any damage or loss that may accrue from any accident arising therefrom, in addition to the penalty provided for breach of these regulations; and the Wharfinger shall not be responsible for any damage or loss which may accrue to such goods.

4. 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, landing-place, or shed shall be discharged or landed on any such wharf or landing-place, or placed in any such shed.

5. 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 any of the sheds for the proper stowage 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 owners, consignees, or shippers thereof, then the Wharfinger shall not be responsible for any loss or damage
