wharf or shed, requiring him, within a reasonable time,
to be therein prescribed, to repair the same, he shall with
all convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or
such repairs to be made.

  1. Nothing herein contained shall authorise the licensee
    to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or incon-
    sistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any regula-
    tion of the Commissioner of Trade and Customs, or with
    any provisions of “The Harbours Act, 1878,” or its amend-
    ments, or any regulations made thereunder, and that are
    now or may hereafter be in force.

  2. The ballast of all vessels loading at the said wharf

    high-water mark, or at such place as may be approved of
    by the Minister, or by any person appointed by the
    Minister for that purpose.

  3. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by or
    under this Order in Council shall continue in force for
    fourteen years from the date hereof, unless in the meantime
    such rights, powers, and privileges shall be altered, modified,
    or revoked by competent authority; and the licensee shall
    not assign, charge, or part with any such right, power, or
    privilege without the previous written consent of the Minister
    first obtained.

  4. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any
    time resumed by the Governor without payment of any
    compensation whatever, on giving to the licensee three

  5. The licensee shall be liable for any injury which the
    said wharf or shed may cause any vessel or boat to sustain

    then and in either of the said cases this Order in Council,
    and every right, power, or privilege, may be revoked and
    determined by the Governor in Council, without any notice
    to the licensee or other proceeding whatsoever; and publ-
    cation in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council
    containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the
    licensee, and to all persons concerned or interested, that
    this Order in Council, and the license, rights, and privileges
    thereby granted and conferred, have been revoked and de-
    termined.

  7. The erection of the wharf and shed, or either of
    them, shall be sufficient evidence of the acceptance by the
    licensee of the terms and conditions of this Order in
    Council.
