veniently may be after every election of a Mayor for
such borough, to give notice to the Colonial Secretary
for the time being of such election, and of the person
elected; and it shall be lawful for the Governor, if
he shall think fit, and if such person shall not then be

published in the New Zealand Gazette, to appoint
such person to be a Justice of the Peace for the
