11. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any
    time resumed by the Governor-General, and the company
    may be required to remove the wharf at the company's
    own cost, without payment of any compensation whatever,
    on giving to the company three calendar months' previous
    notice in writing. Any such notice shall be sufficient if given
    by the Minister and delivered at or posted to the last known
    registered office of the company in New Zealand.
12. The company shall be liable for any injury which the
    said wharf may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through
    any default or neglect on the company's part.

    before set forth, or any of them;
    (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said wharf for a period of
    thirty days;
    (3.) Fail to pay the sums specified in clause 3 of these con-
    ditions; or
    (4.) Be in any manner wound up or dissolved,-
    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 company or other proceed-
    ings whatsoever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette
    of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be
    sufficient notice to the company, 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    been revoked and determined; and upon such revocation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
    company.
14. The erection of the said wharf shall be sufficient
    evidence of the acceptance by the company of the terms
    and conditions of this Order in Council.

    Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
