and land below low-water mark of Little Shag Creek, Toka-
toka, in Kaipara Harbour, in order to erect and maintain
thereon a wharf ; and, in accordance with the one-hundred-
and-fifty-sixth section of “ The Harbours Act, 1878,” has
deposited a plan (in duplicate) in the office of the Marine

place where it is intended to erect such wharf, the area of
foreshore and land below low-water mark to be occupied for
such purpose, and the manner in which it is proposed to
carry out such works : And whereas it has been made to
appear to the Governor in Council that the proposed works
will not be or tend to the injury of navigation ; and the said
plan has, prior to the making of this Order in Council, been
approved by the Governor in Council without modification or
addition : And whereas it is expedient that a license under
the said Act, for the purpose aforesaid, should be granted and
issued to the Council on the terms and conditions hereinafter
expressed :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power
and authority vested in him by the said Act, and of all
other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf,
and by and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the said colony, doth hereby approve of the pur-
pose or object for which the said license is required by the
Council as aforesaid ; 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 Council to use and occupy that part of the foreshore and
land below low-water mark which are particularly shown and
delineated on the plan marked M.D. 2918 so deposited as
aforesaid, for the purpose of constructing or erecting thereon
a wharf ; such license to be held and enjoyed by the Council
upon and subject to the following terms and conditions, that
is to say :—

  1. In these conditions the term “ Minister ” means the
    Minister of Marine, as defined by “ The Shipping and Seamen
    Act, 1903,” and includes any officer, person, or authority
    acting by or under the direction of such Minister.

  2. The concessions and privileges conferred by this Order
    in Council shall extend and apply only to the part of the
    foreshore and land below low-water mark necessary for the
    erection of such wharf, which are shown on the plan marked
    M.D. 2918, and deposited in the office of the Marine Depart-
    ment as aforesaid.

  3. His Majesty, or the Governor, and all officers in the
    Government service acting in the execution of their duty,
    shall at all times have free ingress, passage, and egress into,
    through, over, and out of the said wharf without payment.

  4. The Council shall complete the erection of the said works,
    in accordance with the approved plan marked M.D. 2918,
    within twelve calendar months from the date of this Order
    in Council.

  5. The Council shall maintain the above-mentioned wharf
    in good order and repair.

  6. Any person authorised by the Minister may at all
    reasonable times enter upon the said wharf and view the
    state of repair thereof ; and upon such Minister leaving at or
    posting to the last known address of the Council a notice in
    writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharf, requir-
    ing it, within a reasonable time to be therein prescribed, to
    make good the same, the Council shall with all convenient
    speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be
    made, as the case may be.

  7. Nothing herein contained shall authorise the Council
    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 amendments,
    or any regulations made thereunder, and that are now or
    may hereafter be in force.

  8. 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 Council shall not
    assign, charge, or part with any such right, power, or privilege
    without the written consent of the Minister first obtained.

  9. 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 Council three
    calendar 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
    Council.

  10. The Council shall be liable for any injury which the
    said wharf may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through
    any default or neglect on its part.

  11. In case the Council shall—
    (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions herein-
    before set forth, or any of them ; or
    (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said wharf for the pur-
    poses aforesaid,
    then and in either of the said cases this Order in Council, and
    every license, right, power, or privilege thereby conferred,
    may be revoked and determined by the Governor in Council
    without any notice to the Council or other proceeding what-
    soever ; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an
    Order in Council containing such revocation shall be suffi-
    cient notice to the Council, 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 determined.

  12. The erection of the said wharf shall be sufficient
    evidence of the acceptance by the Council of the terms and
    conditions of this Order in Council.
