    in Council shall extend and apply only to the part of the
    foreshore on the hereinbefore-mentioned river shown on the
    said plan marked M.D. 3008.

    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 con-
    sent of the Minister first obtained.

  5. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any
    time resumed by the Governor, and the licensee may be
    required to remove the structure at his own cost, without
    payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the
    licensee three 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 maintain the above-mentioned struc-
    ture in good order and repair, and shall at all times exhibit

    necessary lights for the guidance of vessels: Provided that
    no light shall be exhibited until after it has been approved of

    reasonable times, enter upon the said structure and view the
    state of repair thereof; and upon such Minister leaving
    at or posting to the last known address of the licensee a
    notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such
    structure, requiring the licensee, 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.

  8. The licensee shall be liable for any injury which may
    be sustained by any vessel or boat in passing the said
    structure, or by contact therewith, and which may be oc-
    casioned by any default or neglect on his part.

  9. In case the licensee shall—
    (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions here-
    inbefore set forth, or any of them;
    (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said structure 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 containing
    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 structure to be
    removed, and may recover the cost incurred by any such
    removal from the licensee.

  10. The construction of the said structure shall be deemed
    to be an acceptance by the licensee of the conditions of this
    Order in Council.
