sions of such Act or Ordinance, heretofore regulating
the management of any such last-mentioned cemetery,
burial-ground, or place of burial, the said Trustees,
Managers, or other persons may apply to the

upon cause inquiry to be made in such manner as he
shall think fit as to the desirability of granting such
petition, and the Governor may, by Order in Council,
direct that the provisions of this Act, or any of them,
shall come into force in respect of any such cemetery,
burial-ground, or place of burial, or he may reject
any such application :

And whereas the sole remaining resident Trustee

ment Act, 1877," shall come into force in respect of
the public cemetery at Nelson, in the Provincial
District of Nelson, and known as the Nelson Ceme-
tery, as the same is described in the Schedule hereto:

And in further pursuance and exercise of the powers
and authorities vested in me, I do, with the like
advice and consent as aforesaid, order and direct that
