This legislation has been repealed.
(1) A person shall not
remove any goods or luggage from any wharf or shed without first satisfying
the check clerks of his right so to do; and shall produce any cart-note,
delivery receipt, or luggage pass that may have been entrusted to him at the
time he received such goods, this provision, however, shall not apply to goods
in railway wagons for which satisfactory receipts have already been given to
the Port Authority.
(2) All goods on
vehicles passing the check clerks must be stowed in such a manner that the
clerks can readily check the number of the packages; in cases where this is
not done, the person in charge of the vehicles may be ordered to discharge and
reload and wherever the goods or luggage upon a vehicle do not agree with the
cart-note or pass in the hands of the driver, the vehicle shall return whence
it came, and shall not be allowed to pass out until the discrepancy has been
satisfactorily righted.
