WHEREAS by the fifteenth section of "The
Juries Act, 1868," it is enacted that in case any
Circuit Court, or sittings of the Supreme Court for
trial of civil or criminal cases, or District Court, or
Court of Sessions of the Peace, shall thereafter be
lawfully directed or appointed to be holden at any
town other than those at which Courts are now
holden, the Clerk of the Resident Magistrate's Court
there, if there be one, or a Jury Officer to be ap-
pointed for the jury district of such town in manner
in the said Act mentioned, shall act as Jury Officer
for the jury district of such town, and such
Jury Officer, and all Justices of the Peace,
and the Registrars, Clerks, or other officers
of Courts, constables and officers of police, and
Sheriff's, shall within such time as the Governor shall
order for that occasion only, do and perform all such
acts, matters, and things, in and towards preparing,
collecting, allowing, sending, and delivering the lists
of men qualified and liable to serve on juries, and
making out the jury books for every such jury district,
as are thereinbefore required ordinarily to be done at
a different time or period, and all such last-mentioned
jury books shall be brought into use, and the persons
whose names shall be therein set down shall be liable
to serve, immediately after the same shall have been
made out by the Sheriff, and the said last-mentioned
books shall be used until new books shall have been
prepared under the provisions hereinbefore contained:
And whereas sittings of the District Court have
been lawfully directed or appointed to be holden at
Tokomairiro, in the Province of Otago, being a town
other than one at which Courts were then holden:
Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of New Zealand, in exercise of all powers
and authorities in this behalf vested in me by the
said Act, do hereby order that the Jury Officer for
the jury district of Tokomairiro aforesaid, and all
Justices of the Peace, and the Registrars, Clerks,
or other officers of Courts, constables and officers
of police, and Sheriffs, shall, before the first
day of April next, do and perform all such acts,
matters, and things, in and towards preparing, col-
lecting, allowing, sending, and delivering the lists of
men qualified and liable to serve on juries, and making
out the jury books for the jury district of Tokomairiro
aforesaid, as are thereinbefore in the said Act
ordinarily required to be done at a different time or
period.

And I do order that, for the purposes aforesaid, the
words in the sections of the said "Juries Act, 1868,"
specified in the first column of the Schedule hereto,
shall respectively be construed and read as if the
words in the second column of the said Schedule
were inserted in lieu of such words in the said sections
respectively.
