Now THEREFORE I, William Henry Eyes, Esquire, the Superintendent as aforesaid, do hereby declare the said Election to be invalid, under the provisions of Clause XIX of the before recited Act, and
do appoint and proclaim that a Meeting of the Ratepayers of the District of Blenheim shall be held on Tuesday, the Ninth day of February, at noon, at the Blenheim Institute, for the purpose of electing Three resident Householders to be the Local Committee of Education for the said district, under the provisions of the Education Act, 1865: And I do hereby further appoint that such election shall be conducted in the manner following, that is to say —
A chairman having been appointed, the ratepayers shall proceed to elect three resident householders to form the Local Committee: Provided that if there be more candidates proposed than the number to be elected, the chairman shall call for a show of hands separately in favour of each candidate, and after such show of hands shall declare the persons on whom the election has fallen.
