HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the eleventh section of "The Public

Governor in Council may from time to time delegate
all or any of the powers by the said Act conferred
upon any person for any period, and subject to such
stipulations as may be specified in such order, and
that every such delegation may from time to time
in like manner be altered or revoked: And whereas
it is enacted by "The Public Domains Act Amend-
ment Act, 1865," that the word "person" in the herein-
before recited section of "The Public Domains Act,
1860," shall be deemed to include more persons than
one: And whereas by "The Lyttelton Public Do-
main Act, 1877," all the land described in the Sche-
dule to that Act is declared to be Crown land,

Domains Act Amendment Act, 1865:" And whereas
His Excellency the Governor, by Order in Council,
made on the eleventh day of January, one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-eight, did delegate certain
powers conferred by "The Public Domains Act,
1860," to certain persons therein mentioned, subject
to certain stipulations therein specified: And
whereas it is expedient to revoke the said Order in
Council, and to make another delegation in lieu
thereof:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council, doth, by this present order, revoke the dele-
gation contained in the said Order in Council, and
doth, with the like advice and consent, by this present
order, delegate, but only with respect to the parcels
of land described in the Schedule to the said "Lyt-
telton Public Domain Act, 1877," all the powers con-
ferred by "The Public Domains Act, 1860," except

   be held on Monday, the twentieth day of May instant,
   at the hour and place aforesaid.

2. Special meetings may be convened by the Chair-
   man or by any two of the Delegates, provided that
   two days' notice of such meeting be given to each
   Delegate, specifying the business to be transacted at
   such special meeting, and no other business than that
   so specified shall be transacted at such meeting.

3. Any three of the said Delegates shall form a
   quorum. Any meeting may be adjourned from time
   to time and from place to place.

   thereafter at an annual meeting to be held on the
   first Monday in every succeeding year thereafter,
   elect one of themselves to be Chairman, who may join
   in the discussion, and shall have an original as well
   as a casting vote. The Chairman shall hold office
   until the election of his successor.

5. If at any meeting the Chairman is not present
   at the time appointed for holding the same, the
   Delegates present shall choose some one of their
   number to be Chairman of such meeting.

6. If from any cause whatever a Chairman shall
   not be appointed at the first meeting or at an annual
   meeting, or by resignation, death, incapacity, or
   otherwise the office of Chairman shall be or become
   vacant, the Delegates may at any monthly or special
   meeting appoint a Chairman.
