time to time to abolish, and to appoint other Polling
Places in lieu of those abolished, and that every such
Warrant shall be published in the New Zealand

that every election of the Superintendent or of a
Member of the Provincial Council of a Province shall

cial Councils as, under the provisions thereinbefore
contained, he has for electoral districts for election
of Members of the House of Representatives:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
