    of this license are being faithfully complied with by the
    licensee, the Minister, or any person appointed by him in
    that behalf, may at all reasonable times enter on the lands
    and works and inspect the same.

    satisfaction of the Minister that the transferee is financially
    and otherwise able to carry out the works specified in this
    license.

DEFAULT AND PENALTY.

33. If the licensee fails to comply with any of the condi-
    tions of this license the Minister may, by notice in writing,
    require the licensee within thirty days to remedy the default
    specified in that notice ; but he shall not be held to have
    committed default for any failure to maintain power con-
    tinuously if such failure is due to the breakdown of machinery
    or other accident, unless such breakdown or accident is proved
    to be due to negligence on the part of the licensee ; and if
    the licensee fails to comply with the terms of the notice
    within the said period he shall be liable to a penalty of £20,
    to be recoverable by or on behalf of the Minister as a debt
    due to the Crown. The recovery of a penalty under this
    license shall not affect the liability (if any) of the licensee to
    pay or make compensation in respect of any damage or injury
    which may be caused by reason of the default.

REVOCATION OF LICENSE.

34. Notwithstanding anything in the last preceding clause
    of these conditions, if the licensee fails to comply with the

    thereof, the Governor in Council may thereupon revoke this
    license without further notice.

    ment, or working of any public works. Nor shall His Majesty,
    or the Governor, or the Minister, or any other person be liable
    to pay to the licensee any compensation for injury done to
    the works herein authorized by the construction, manage-

    be made by the licensee, but such by-laws shall not be en-
    forceable unless approved by the Minister.

    mination of this license by revocation or otherwise, all rights
