144
1

first in payment of any costs or expenses ordered by the court to be paid by the master or owner; and
b
next in payment of any fine imposed by the court;
and any balance shall be repaid to the first-mentioned person.
7
Any reference in this section to a harbour master or a harbour authority shall, where the harbour in question consists of or includes the whole or any part of a dockyard port within the meaning of the Dockyard Ports Regulation Act 1865, be construed as including a reference to the Queen’s harbour master for the port.
