7. Any person authorized 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 licensee in New Zealand a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharf, requiring the licensee, within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to repair the wharf, the licensee shall with all reasonable speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made.

    then and in any 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-General in Council without any notice to the licensee or other proceedings whatever ; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the licensee, 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or interested, that this Order in Council, and the license, rights, and privileges thereby granted and conferred, have been revoked and determined ; and upon such revocation the Minister may cause the said wharf to be removed, and may recover the cost incurred by any such removal from the licensee.
