  1. All goods landed on the wharf shall be removed there-
    from before 5 p.m. on the day on which they are landed, ex-
    cept as provided for by Regulation 3. No goods, timber, or
    other article shall be deposited on the wharf, except in the
    act of landing or shipping the same, without the permission
    of the wharfinger.

  2. The master of every vessel hauling alongside the wharf
    shall berth, moor, or remove his vessel as the wharfinger
    may direct; and, failing which, any loss or damage done to
    the wharf or jetty shall be made good to the satisfaction of
    the Coromandel County Council.

  3. The master (or owner) of every vessel lying at the wharf
    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 stores or
    cargo landed without such permission shall not be deemed to
    be in the custody of the wharfinger, nor shall he be respon-
    sible for any loss or damage that may accrue to such cargo by
    the elements or otherwise, nor shall he be responsible for any
    ship’s stores.

  4. No ballast, timber, coal, produce, or cargo of any descrip-
    tion shall be embarked or shipped, disembarked, or unshipped,
    except at such times and places and in such order and mode
    as may, subject to these regulations, be directed and deemed
    expedient by the wharfinger or his deputy for the proper
    working of the wharf.

  5. 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 shall be held responsible for any damage or loss
    that may accrue from any accident arising therefrom, in
    addition to the penalty provided for a breach of these regu-
    lations; and the wharfinger shall not be responsible for any
    loss or damage that may accrue to such goods.

  6. 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 or buildings thereon shall be landed or
    discharged on such wharf.

  7. If any cargo or produce shall be permitted to remain
    on the wharf or landing-place for the convenience of the
    owner, consignee, or shippers thereof, then the wharfinger
    shall not be responsible for any loss or damage that may
    accrue to any such cargo or produce, by the elements or
    otherwise, during the time it may so remain on the wharf.

  8. No person taking any vehicle on the wharf, or using
    such vehicle or the tram provided on the wharf, shall allow
    the same to be propelled at a greater speed than a walking
    pace. Any person taking any vehicle, goods, or mer-
    chandise on the wharf shall use the tram, unless the article
    taken may be carried by hand. Any person using such
    tram shall have the same under control while in motion,
    and he shall stand by the same as long as it shall be at a
    standstill on the said wharf, and shall return the same
    without delay to the position he received it, or remove the
    tram or any vehicle to such position on the wharf as the
    wharfinger or his deputy may direct. Any damage to tram
    or tramway, or loss occasioned by wilful neglect or dis-
    obedience to orders given, shall be made good at the cost of
    persons using the same. No person shall be allowed to take
    any bicycle or tricycle upon the said wharf except for ship-
    ment or by the permission of the wharfinger or his deputy.

  9. No person shall disobey the orders of the wharfinger
    or his deputy when acting in the due performance of their
    duty, nor in any way obstruct the traffic on the wharf, nor
    make use of any improper or abusive language thereon; nor
    shall any fire or naked lights be used on the wharf.

  10. All goods shall be landed on the aforesaid wharf or
    landing-place, or brought thereon for shipment, and shall be
    placed as the wharfinger or his deputy may direct; and no
    goods or any articles are to be placed on the wharf so as to
    be an impediment to the approaches, or an obstacle to the
    removal of other goods from the wharf, or so as to encumber
    the mooring posts or rings on such wharf.

  11. In the construction of the foregoing regulations the
    terms and expressions following shall have the meanings
    hereinafter assigned to them: “Wharfinger” shall mean
    and include the person appointed by the Coromandel County
    Council for the due management of the wharf; and such
    wharfinger is the person appointed by the said Council to
    collect and receive all dues payable under this Order in
    Council. “Deputy” shall mean any officer acting under
    the instructions of or by the authority of the wharfinger,
    as the case may be.

  12. If any person fails, refuses, or neglects to do anything
    required by these regulations, or in any manner obstructs,
    impedes, or interferes with the doing of anything enjoined or
    authorised to be done, or wilfully does anything prohibited
    by these regulations, every such person in any case so
    offending shall be liable to forfeit and pay a penalty not
    exceeding £5 sterling.

which the said foreshore is to be occupied: And whereas
it is expedient that a license should be granted and issued
to the licensee under the said Act, for the purpose afore-

which the said license is required by the licensee as afore-
said; 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

boat-shed is to be erected, as shown on the plans so de-
posited as aforesaid, for the purpose of erecting and maintain-
ing the said boat-shed thereon, such license to be held and
enjoyed by the licensee upon and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.
