A Bill to further
amend the Bom
bay Port Trust
Act, 1879.
The Honour
able E. W.
Ravens-
eroft, C.S.I.
object of empowering the Trustees to grant at their
discretion pensions and gratuities, &c., to any servant
or servants who may come within the words artisans,
porters and labourers, and mukddams of porters and
labourers, section 1 of the Bill has been framed.
It is considered that the words “or any of them” in
clause 5 of section 22 of the Act are not sufficient to
empower the Trustees to determine whether all their
officers and servants, or any, and, if so, which of them,
are to be entitled on retirement to pensions, &c. Section
2 of the Bill has been framed to make this point clear.
Under the combined provisions of sections 43 and 61 of
the Bombay Port Trust Act, 1879, the Trustees of the
Port of Bombay have a lien on goods stored on- any
wharf, dock or pier in the possession of the Board for
the rent of the area on which goods are stored.
But a considerable portion of the estate of the Port Trust,
and upon which goods are daily stored by many different
owners and agents, is without the limits of any wharf,
dock or pier, and for the rent of goods so stored the
Trustees have no lien. Consequently the Trustees can
not legally refuse to permit such goods to be removed
unless storage-rent be first paid, and if the goods were
so removed rent could only be recovered afterwards with
much difficulty and would in many instances be lost.
The circumstances under which goods are stored preclude
the Trustees from protecting themselves in each case by
express contract, and the only course seems to be to
accede to the request which has been made to Govern
ment by the Trustees themselves that their lien on goods
should be extended to such as are stored on any land
or building in their possession.
This Bill has been drawn for this purpose.
13th March
1883.
