    then and in any 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 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all persons concerned or interested, that this Order in Council, and the rights and privileges thereby conferred, have been revoked and determined; and upon such revocation the Minister may cause the said boatshed, and all other erections or buildings thereto belonging, to be removed, and may recover the cost incurred by any such removal from the licensee.

  9. The erection of the boatshed shall be deemed to be an acceptance by the licensee of the conditions of this Order in Council.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.
