Regulations to be put in force within any
District as aforesaid shall be ascertained in
manner following, that is to say:

1. If the Governor shall think fit at any
   time by Order in Council to constitute within
   any District or group of Districts or part of a
   District appointed under the said Act, a Native
   Runanga for the purpose of ascertaining such
   assent as aforesaid, such Runanga shall be
   termed the "District Runanga of
   ," or
   the "Village Runanga of
   ," as the case
   may be and every such Runanga shall con-
   tinue during the Governor's pleasure.

2. Every District or Village Runanga shall
   consist in the first instance of such Native
   Chiefs as may be appointed by the Governor
   to be members thereof, and of such other
   members as may be afterwards added by
   election or otherwise in pursuance of any
   General or Local Regulation in that behalf:
   and any member may resign or be removed by
   the Governor.

3. Every Regulation proposed by any Dis-
   trict or Village Runanga to be put in force
   within any such District, whether the same
   shall be a General Regulation for the whole
   District, or a Local Regulation for any part
   thereof, shall be considered at a meeting of
   the District or Village Runanga to be specially
   held for the purpose: and the final adoption
   thereof at such meeting by a majority of
   such Runanga, shall be held to be the
   ascertainment of the general assent thereto of
   the Native population to be affected thereby,
   within the meaning of the said Act: Pro-
   vided that if on the presentation to the Gover-
   nor of any such Regulations he shall think fit
   to return the same to the Runanga with any
   amendments therein, the Runanga shall con-
   sider such amendments in like manner as afore-
   said, and the final adoption in manner aforesaid
   of the Regulations as so amended shall be held
   to be the ascertainment of the general assent
   thereto as aforesaid.

4. Whenever the Governor shall not have
   constituted any District or Village Runanga
   within any District appointed under the said
   Act, the assent of the Native population to
   any Regulations to be put in force therein shall
   be ascertained by the Civil Commissioner of
   the District (if any), or by such other Officer,
   assisted by not less than two Native Assessors,
   as may be designated by the Governor in that
   behalf.

And His Excellency, with the advice and
consent aforesaid, doth declare that this
Order shall take effect from and after the
thirty-first day of March, 1862.
