Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion 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 acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby approve of the purpose or object for which the said license is required by the company 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 company to use and occupy that part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark adjacent thereto necessary for the maintenance of the said landing-stage, such license to be held and enjoyed by the company upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.

SCHEDULE.

1. In these conditions the term “Minister” means the Minister of Marine as defined by the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, and includes any officer, person, or authority acting by or under the direction of such Minister.

Any person authorized by the Minister may at all reasonable times enter upon the said landing-stage and view the state of repair thereof; and upon such Minister leaving at or posting to the last known address of the company in New Zealand a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such landing-stage, requiring it within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to repair the same, it shall with all convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made.

Any such notice shall be sufficient if given by the Minister and delivered at or posted to the last known address of the company in New Zealand.

12. The company shall be liable for any injury which the said landing-stage may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through any default or neglect on its part.
