Power to remove goods
16.—(1) If any goods are left on or in any part of the harbour estate the Commissioners may require the owner of the goods to remove them, and if the goods are not removed within six hours after such requirement the Commissioners may cause them to be removed to their own or any other public warehouse or store, and such removal shall be carried out at the expense of the owner.
(2) Notwithstanding such removal on behalf of the Commissioners the goods shall be liable to a general lien for the cost of the removal, and for any charges payable by the owner.
(3) The powers of the Commissioners to prevent the removal of goods until the cost of the removal and charges payable by the owner have been paid shall extend and apply to any goods removed or placed in store under the powers of this article.
