then and in either of the said cases this Order in Council,
and every license, right, power, or privilege thereby con-
ferred, may be revoked and determined by the Governor in
Council without any notice to the licensees or other proceed-
ing whatsoever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette
of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be
sufficient notice to the licensees, 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been revoked and determined.

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