said Act, and the period of twenty-one days after the
occurrence of such vacancy elapsed on the twenty-
seventh day of June last, and no election of a Member
to fill such vacancy was held on such last-mentioned
day, in accordance with the hereinbefore in part recited
provision of the said Act: And whereas by the said
Act it is, among other things, enacted that within
the period of fifteen days before or after the day
appointed for the holding of any election or of any
meeting of the County Council or of any Road Board,
or for the doing of any act, matter, or thing by the
said Act required to be done on or before a day
certain, it shall be lawful for the Governor to extend
the time allowed for the holding of such election or
meeting, or for the doing of any such act, matter, or
thing as aforesaid, notwithstanding the day may have
passed on which the same ought to have been held or
done, and to adopt or cause to be adopted such
measures as may be necessary to remove any obstacle
of a technical or formal nature by which the carrying
out of the provisions of the said Act relating to such
elections or meetings as aforesaid may be impeded,
and to supply any deficiency which may be required
to be supplied, in order to enable the said provisions
to be duly carried out: Provided always that any
such measure so adopted by the Governor shall be
duly notified in the New Zealand Gazette: And
whereas by the said Act it is also enacted that four-
teen clear days before any election thereunder public
notice of such election shall be given by advertise-
ment as therein mentioned, but by reason of the pre-
mises no such notice hath been given in accordance
with such enactment, and it is expedient that the
time for holding of such election should be extended
as and in manner hereinafter mentioned:

Now therefore, His Excellency Sir George Fer-
guson Bowen, the Governor of the Colony of New
Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the power and
authority in him vested by the said Act, doth hereby
extend the time allowed for the holding of the elec-
tion of a Member of the Road Board of the Paroa

aforesaid, from the said twenty-seventh day of June
last, on which day the said election ought, according
to the provisions of the said Act, to have been held,
to the fifteenth day of August next.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
