And whereas by a Proclamation bearing date the seventeenth day of November, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, the Governor of the said Colony, with the advice of the Executive Council thereof, in pursuance of the powers vested in him as aforesaid, did define the limits and boundaries of certain Ports in the said Colony, and did proclaim and declare that certain rules and regulations therein specified for the governance and preservation of the said Ports, and for the regulation of Shipping in the same, should be substituted for other rules and regulations previously in force: Now I, Sir Charles Henry Darling, the Governor of Victoria, with the advice of the Executive Council, do hereby declare that the following shall be added to the rules and regulations contained in the Proclamation above referred to, viz.—
