ORDER IN COUNCIL,
Increasing Rates of Pilotage at Otago.
G. GREY,
Governor.
AT THE GOVERNMENT HOUSE, AT AUCKLAND,
THE SEVENTH DAY OF MARCH, 1862.
Present:
His EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS, by the Harbour Regulations Ordinance, No. 15, of Session II., of the Legislative Council of New Zealand, it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council from time to time to make all such regulations respecting Pilots and Pilotage, Quarantine and Harbours, as in the said Ordinance provided: And whereas, by an Order in Council, made in pursuance of the said power, on the twenty-first day of February, 1861, certain regulations were made, and certain rates of Pilotage fixed, for the Ports and Harbours of the Province of Otago:
And whereas it is expedient to increase such rates of Pilotage within the Harbour of Otago, but not in any other Ports or Harbours of the said Province: Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of New Zealand, doth hereby, in further pursuance and exercise of the said recited power and authority, order that the rates of Pilotage for the said Harbour of Otago shall be as follows:
In lieu and instead of the rates fixed by the said Order in Council, of the 21st day of February, 1861, the sum of One Shilling per ton (that is sixpence per ton on entering, and a like sum on leaving Harbour,) shall be paid as Pilotage in respect of every ship or vessel (not exempt from Pilotage according to the said regulations) coming into or out of the said Harbour, together with the further sum of Ten Shillings per mile for every mile beyond one league from the Pilot Station, and the further sum of Twenty-one Shillings upon each occasion that a vessel is shifted from one part of the said Harbour to another.
All ships and vessels exempt according to the said regulations, shall pay one full Pilotage at the above rates inwards and outwards every six months.
Provided that this Order shall not alter or affect the rates of Pilotage fixed by the said Order in Council of the 21st day of February, 1861, in respect of any other Harbours in the said Province except the Harbour of Otago.
And His Excellency with such advice and consent as aforesaid, doth order that this Order shall take effect on and from the first day of April next.
HAMPDEN WILLS,
For the Clerk of Executive Council.
