Sir,—I have the honor to inform you that the election for members to serve in the Auckland City Council took place yesterday, at the Auckland City Council Chamber.

The original list of candidates consisted of fifteen names, three of whom, viz.—

Messrs. Low, Lowson, and Smith, were deemed by me ineligible to proceed to the poll in consequence of one of their second names not appearing upon the Burgess Roll.

VUW Te Waharoa — Auckland Provincial Gazette 1855, No 7

After Parliament moved to Wellington in 1865, the Auckland Provincial Council sat in General Assembly House (depicted).

It was nicknamed the 'Shedifice' as it was large and drafty, with a leaking roof. First premier Henry Sewell described it as 'a great wooden barnshaped affair, which might serve for a Hospital, a Jail, or a Barrack'.
