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 Sheriffs, 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, col-
lecting, 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 dis-
trict, 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 herein-
before contained: And whereas sittings of the Dis-
trict Court have been lawfully directed or appointed
to be holden at Reefton and Ahaura, in the Province
of Nelson, being towns other than those at which
Courts have heretofore been 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 districts of Reefton and Ahaura 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 Novem-
ber next, 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 the jury districts of Reefton and Ahaura
aforesaid, as are thereinbefore in the said Act ordi-
narily 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.

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME,
GREETING:

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand, intituled "The Regulation of
Elections Act, 1870," it is enacted that it shall be
lawful for the Governor, by Warrant under his hand,
from time to time to appoint Polling Places for
each Electoral District within or within one mile
of the limits thereof, and to appoint any one of
such places to be the Principal Polling Place for
the District, and all or any of such Polling Places
from 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 Gazette: Provided always that no Polling
Place shall be appointed by the Governor under the
said Act unless he shall be first satisfied that the
place to be appointed is more convenient than any
other for at least twenty electors to record their
votes thereat: And whereas by the said Act it is
further enacted that every election of the Superinten-
dent or of a Member of the Provincial Council
of a Province shall be conducted in the manner pre-
scribed therein for the election of Members of the
House of Representatives, and that the Governor
shall have the same powers of appointing and alter-
ing Polling Places and Principal Polling Places for
Electoral Districts for the election of Superinten-
dents and Members of Provincial 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
Governor of New Zealand, in pursuance of the power
and authority in me vested by the said Act, do hereby
appoint the following place to be an additional Polling
Place for the District of Wakari, for the election of
Members of the Provincial Council of the Province
of Otago, namely—

The Presbyterian School House, Maori Hill.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir

Admiral of the same, at the Government
House, at Wellington, this thirtieth
day of September, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-two.

HENRY SEWELL.

behalf enabling me, I, Sir George Ferguson
