it is enacted that there shall be held Circuit
Courts for the despatch of civil and criminal business
of the Court, before one of the Judges thereof, at

consent of the Executive Council of New Zealand,
do hereby revoke the said proclamation of the second
day of September, 1864, and do hereby appoint that
a Circuit Court shall be held at the town of Inver-
