Borough of Thames should take place; and by the
said in part recited instrument, William Fraser, of
Grahamstown, Esquire, was appointed to be the per-
son before whom the said election should be held:

it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to
extend the time allowed for the holding of such
election or meeting of Councillors, or for the doing
of any such act, matter, or thing as aforesaid, notwith-
standing 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 neces-
sary to remove any obstacle of a technical or formal
nature by which the carrying out of the provisions of
the said Act 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 in Council shall be duly
notified in the New Zealand Gazette:
And whereas it is expedient that the date fixed for
the said election should be extended:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of
New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
hereinbefore recited power and authority, and by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the said Colony, doth hereby extend the
time fixed for the first election of Councillors for the
Borough of Thames until the twenty-fifth day of

hereby confirm the said in part recited instrument
of the nineteenth day of February last.
