G. F. BOWEN, Governor.

At the Government House, at Wellington,
this 1st day of September, 1869. Present:
His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS, by an Order in Council,
dated the twenty-fifth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight,
certain Harbour and Quarantine Regulations
for the several Ports and Harbours of the
Colony of New Zealand were made and promulgated: And whereas it is desirable that
certain clauses of the same should be altered
and amended:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the Colony, and
in pursuance of the powers and authorities in
him vested by “The Marine Act, 1867,”
doth hereby order that, from and after the
date of publication hereof, clauses twenty-nine, thirty-three, fifty-three, and sixty-six,
of the said Regulations shall respectively be
amended as hereinafter appears:—

Clause 29.—In lieu of clause 29, it is provided that—

The master of every vessel shall anchor or
moor where the Harbour-Master or person
deputed by him may direct; and he shall not
unmoor or quit the anchorage, nor shall he
haul his vessel alongside any public pier,
wharf, or jetty, without having previously
obtained permission from the Harbour-Master
or his deputy to do so; and any master
offending against this Regulation shall be
liable to a penalty not exceeding Five Pounds.

Clause 33.—In lieu of clause 33, it is provided that—

All masters or other persons in charge of
vessels are immediately to strike yards and
masts, to have their jib and spanker booms
rigged close in, to moor and clear hawse, to
lay out anchors or kedges, to slack down or
heave in cables or warps, to heave ahead or
astern, and to haul off from any pier, wharf,
or jetty, when ordered by the Harbour-Master
or his deputy to do so; and whether they
are lying at anchor, or moored anywhere
within the port, or are alongside of any pier,
wharf, or jetty, are on all occasions, when
ordered by the Harbour-Master or his deputy,
to do whatever the said Harbour-Master or
Deputy Harbour-Master may consider necessary or expedient, with a view to the safety
and interest of the whole shipping, and in
consideration of the state of the weather, the
crowded condition of any port or river, or any
other circumstance. And any master offending
against this Regulation shall be liable to
a penalty not exceeding Twenty Pounds.

Clause 53.—In lieu of clause 53, it is provided that—

In the absence of any special regulations
for any stated wharf, the time allowed to
vessels to occupy berths at quays, jetties, or
wharves, for the purpose of discharging cargo,
shall be (exclusive of Sundays and holidays,
and the day of removal,) as under:—

For ships under 100 tons ... 2 days
" " from 100 to 150 tons 4 "
" " 150 " 200 " 5 "
" " 200 " 250 " 6 "
" " 250 " 300 " 7 "

and so on, at the rate of one day additional
for every additional fifty tons of the registered burthen of the vessel. But it is provided that the Superintendent may alter the
time table given herein, to suit the special
requirements of any particular port or wharf,
by supplementary regulations, which shall be
binding when made, the time table herein
being only applicable to any pier, wharf, or
jetty, for which no special time table has been
fixed by the supplementary regulations.

Clause 66.—In lieu of clause 66, it is provided that—

All watermen, stevedores, carters, or others
engaged on any wharf or jetty, or at any
landing-place, shall be under the control and
obey the orders of the Harbour or Pier Master; and any person disobeying this Regulation,
or in any way obstructing the traffic on
any wharf or jetty, or public landing-place,
or making use of abusive or improper language
thereon, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding Five Pounds.
