The Cargo of each Vessel from any Foreign Port entering
and using any of the said Docks or Basins, shall be received,

of the authorised Master Porters.

The Master Porters are required'to act, as far as practicable,
in regular rotation. _

Every Master Porter, upon receiving Goods from any Vessel,
is required to give immediate notice to the owner or consignee
of the goods, and to proceed, without delay, in weighing and
loading off the same, unless the Owner or Consignee of the
Goods shall give •notice to such Master Porter that the same
Goods, or any part thereof, are to remain on the Qnay ; and
all Goods shall be loaded off, and removed from, •the Quay
within 48 hours nextafter the time in which the same shall have
been landed. _ • .

And
And in case such Goods shall not have been removed, as
aforesaid, the Dock Trustees may warehouse the same in any
Warehouse, whether belonging to the Trustees or not, and
such Goods may be detained in such Warehouse, as security
for all expenses payuble to the Master Porters, and for all
rents, rates, and expenses, payable to the Trustees, or to the
Owner of the Warehouse in respect of such Goods, and for the
payment of the Freight of such Goods, upon notice to detain
the same for such Freight.
Every. Master Porter, after receiving Goods from any Vessel,
is required to receive, weigh, and load off, all the Goods from
such Vessel.
Every Owner or Consignee of the entire Cargo of any Vessel
may employ such Master Porter as he may think proper, for
the purpose of receiving, weighing, and loading off, the Cargo
of such Vessel.
Any slaster Porter may he prohibited from acting, or con-
tinuing to act, as a'Master Porter, for such period and for such
cause as may render such
-proceeding necessary..

Any person acting
.as Mister Porter in receiving, weighing,
and loading off, or in employing or directing any Porter to
receive, weigh, or load off, any Goods, without having given to
the Trustees a Bond, with two sufficient sureties, will incur a
penalty, not exceeding .t'so, for every such offence.
Additional or substituted persons will, from time to time, be
appointed Master Porters, as occasion may require.
