Proceedings of the Waipu South Highway District
Board validated.

NORMANBY, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
twenty-first day of August, 1877.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Waipu South Highway District
in the Provincial District of Auckland, appointed one
Murdoch McLeod to be the valuer to make a valua-
tion list for such district, pursuant to "The Rating
Act, 1876," and he did accordingly make such list,
and signed and transmitted the same to the said
Board in accordance with the said Act : And whereas
the Judge of the Assessment Court of the district
appointed a sitting of the Court on the twenty-
seventh of March last for the purpose of hearing and
determining objections to such valuation list, and at
such sitting it appeared to the Court that the said
Board had omitted to comply with certain provisions
of the said Act with respect to such valuation list,
and the Court adjourned until the eighth day of May
to enable the said Board to comply with such provi-
sions: And whereas at such adjourned sitting it
appeared that the said Board had appointed one
Alexander P. Campbell to be the valuer of the Board,
and to prepare the valuation list required by the said
Act, in lieu of the said valuation list prepared by
the said Murdoch McLeod ; and that the said Alex-
ander P. Campbell had accordingly prepared such
valuation list, and that all things required by the
said Act to be done with respect thereto had been
done; and the said Court confirmed the appointment
of the said Alexander P. Campbell as valuer, and the
Judge of the said Court signed the valuation list pre-
pared by the said Alexander P. Campbell, as required
by the twenty-ninth section of the said Act: And
whereas it is expedient to validate anything irregu-
larly done in matter of form with respect to the
appointment of the said Alexander P. Campbell as a
valuer, and in the preparation and otherwise of the
said valuation list prepared by him:—

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council, and in exercise and pursuance
of the powers and authorities vested in me by
"The Rating Act, 1876," and all other powers
and authorities in that behalf me hereunto
enabling, do hereby order and declare that, not-
withstanding anything irregularly done in matter
of form by the said Board or by the Assessment
Court with respect to the appointment of the said
Alexander P. Campbell as a valuer, and the pre-
paration and otherwise of the valuation list afore-
said for the said district, such valuation list shall be
a good and valid valuation list for the said district,
and shall be the valuation roll for the Waipu South
Highway Board District, and shall remain in force
until a fresh roll is made in the next following year.

FORSTER GORING,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
