    (1)     The lien referred to in section 4 shall be for the amount of:

        (a)     all lawful charges of the warehouseman for storage and preservation of the goods;

        (b)     all lawful claims of the warehouseman for insurance, transportation, labour, weighing, packing, coopering and other expenses in relation to the goods; and

        (c)     where default is made in satisfying the lien charged on the goods by virtue of the preceding provisions of this subsection all reasonable charges of the warehouseman for notice and advertisement of an intended sale of the goods and, if the goods are sold, for the sale of the goods.

    (2)     Where the charges referred to in paragraph (c) of subsection (1) are incurred with respect to more than one item of goods, those charges shall, with respect to any one item, be deemed to be an amount that bears the same proportion to the total charges as the amount of the lien charged on the item by virtue of the other provisions of that subsection bears to the amount of the lien charged on all the items by virtue of other provisions.
