   Act, 1908, 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 adjacent thereto
   necessary for the erection of the said yard, as shown on
   the plan marked M.D. 4583.

3. In consideration of the concessions and privileges
   granted by this Order in Council the licensees shall pay

   Minister.

6. Any person authorized by the Minister may, at all

   state of repair thereof; and upon such Minister leaving
   at or posting to the last known address of the licensees in
   New Zealand a notice in writing of any defect or want of

   repairs to be made.

7. Nothing herein contained shall authorize the licensees
   to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or incon-
   sistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any regu-
   lation of the Minister of Customs, or with any provisions of
   the Harbours Act, 1908, or its amendments, or any regu-
   lations made thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter
   be in force.

8. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by or under

    then and in either 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 licensees or other proceedings whatsoever ; and publi-
    cation 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    thereby granted and conferred, have been revoked and deter-
    mined.
